Hi Volker, gratitude for answering my question. After reading Q&A link you provided I realized how to make junctions but I don't know which source should be attached to the target? As you've mentioned `:/cygdrive/c/progra~2/microsoft: No such file or directory` means there are no links available for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio", so I tried ``` C:\WINDOWS\system32>mklink /j "C:\progra~2\microsoft~7" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio" Junction created for C:\progra~2\microsoft~7 <<===>> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio ``` but it seems not working because I get the same error. Can you give some tips please? Sorry if I'm newbie, I'm just interested in some JEPs and want to test them in a project to see if I can deploy it later. Many thanks.
