Hi, Recent versions of Racket for Windows (at least, starting from 6.1.0.3) cannot install packages from planet when Racket's AppData/Roaming/ folder is a shortcut. I'm sure Racket could do it in previous versions.
The output I get is: ..\..\Program Files\Racket-6.1.0.3\collects\racket\path.rkt:66:14: normalize-path: element within the input path is not a directory or does not exist element: C:\Users\aml\AppData\Roaming\Racket Here are some additional tests: > (directory-exists? "C:\\Users\\aml\\AppData\\Roaming\\Racket") #f > (file-exists? "C:\\Users\\aml\\AppData\\Roaming\\Racket") #f > (link-exists? "C:\\Users\\aml\\AppData\\Roaming\\Racket") #t The reason why I use a shortcut is simply because I use several different machines which synchronize that folder using Dropbox. Is there a workaround (besides making C:\Users\aml\AppData\Roaming\Racket a regular folder)? Best, António.
