Cannot install .NET framework on Symlinked drive

[BetaTime]

I'm trying to install .NET framework 3.5 on Windows 8, and I'm getting the error: "The system cannot move the file to a different disk drive." and "Error code: 0x80070011"

 

 

 

First off, here's my setup: I have a 64GB SSD hosting my OS. I have C:\Windows\WinSxS, C:\Users, C:\Program Files, and C:\Program Files (x86) all symlinked to a mechanical storage drive - This is to save space on my SSD, and still gain the benefits of boot

times as well as some performance increase.

 

 

 

I realize this is not a recommended setup - however, this is how I have it set up, and this is how I want to keep it set up. I feel that at this point, I should be able to install any software as I like, wherever I like. I shouldn't be forced to install things

in one specific spot, taking up extra space on my very small hard disk.

 

 

 

How can I override this error, or force the framework to install to another location?

 

 

 

Thanks for your help!
