Can someone show me code that can successfully do it? I tried:
<CustomAction Id='Mklink' Directory="myDir" ExeCommand='[SystemFolder]cmd.exe /K mklink /D mylink "[$(var.linkDest)]"' Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="Mklink" Before="InstallFinalize">$needALinkForThisComp=3</Custom> <!-- runs at install of that Compoent Id --> </InstallExecuteSequence> I'm running on Windows 7 The cmd window that pops up (titled: "Administrator: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe") indicates that the System user doesn't have permission to make a symbolic link (thanks Microsoft!): "You do not have sufficient privilege to perform this operation."
