Nope, I'm using Windows 7.
While I don't rule that out completely, I don't think that this is the issue. Then again, I could be wrong and MS made some change in Windows (in regards to "security") that leads to this problem.Could it be related to the OS version ?
I didn't either, and I didn't imply that you did. It's just a question that could be relevant because there were cases in the past where TC couldn't read a link's target which caused some issues. Since Windows Installer is running as a service, i.e. user SYSTEM, the link would need to have at least the permission to be read by that user.I'm not tinkering with any folder or file permissions, I've just created the directory and junction
A different but yet similar issue was discussed recently regarding Apache web server which also runs as a service. In that case, the link's path created by TC (using TC's CopyLinks option) caused a problem.
That's why I asked about the link target and permissions.
