Notes (week 6) – Symbolic links

This week I’ve mostly been building a new server. One of it’s uses will be to function as a backend to the Version Manager. It will be used to create CE builds and publish releases. I’m using Windows 7 as the operating system. Because my hardware is fairly old, I’ve had to fight hard to make everything work.

Remote connection to server

Since I’ve been using Windows 7 on my laptop for some time now, I’m getting more used to it. I’ve also done some reading on how the UAC works. That information will be useful in making CE fully compatible with Vista and Win7. In this weeks snapshot I’ve added a “Create Symbolic Link” action (read more about Symbolic links). This action uses UAC elevation technique that will be used in the Version Manager if there aren’t any major issues. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Works for me in XP on NTFS, but how to remove symbolic link once created?

@sanb
Yes, Symbolic links work in 2000 and XP also.

@disho
You should be able to delete is just like any other folder.

Oh, thanks.

Looks like the fix wasn’t included in previous builds because they were done in a different machine. This will be fixed for Friday’s release.

@Sant
Yes, I’m aware of AT components. In fact, I used the Junctions code to see how it’s done and coded my own implementation.
