CreateSymbolicLinkW

[ludeq]

hello all,
if i try to sync directory containing juctions with Direct handling option
(targeted to other subrolder of synchonized folder (\FSFtest\01\Junction ->
\FSFtest\00\Jtarget)) from one disk to other one (both are NTFS of course) i
get the following error



Error: Error loading library function:
"CreateSymbolicLinkW"



(System is Windows XP x64 SP2 (5.2.3790), FFS version 3.12 x64)

Best regards and thank you for the great software.

If a junction is found FFS will try to "copy" it as an symbolic link. Symbolic
links however cannot be created before Windows Vista.

ups, thanks for your answer, i'm not happy,... it seems like reason to
upgrade.
now i tried it on w7x64 - it works, but FFS must by started with admin's
permissions, is there any way to skip it?

Thanks again for the great work

Unfortunately not. Windows requires the user to have privilege
"SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege" in order to create links. This privilege, by
default, is only given to administrators.
