On Windows XP you will see a message that looks similar to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Rapise\Scripts\AllLibraries.json
On Windows 7 and later you will see a message that looks similar to:
C:\ProgramData\Documents\Rapise\Scripts\AllLibraries.json
In either case the problem is the same, it means you have a missing junction / symbolic link in Windows that should normally redirect the following location:
- C:\ProgramData\Documents → C:\Users\Public\Documents
The solution is to recreate the missing Junction / Symbolic link by doing the following:
- Open an administrator Command Prompt. Enter “command” in your start
menu search, right-click on Command Prompt, and select “Run as
administrator”.
- To create the symbolic link, enter the following in command prompt:
mklink /J C:\ProgramData\Documents C:\Users\Public\Documents
That should fix the issue.
For those interested, the following options are available to the MKLINK.exe command:
- /D – creates a soft symbolic link, which is similar
to a standard folder or file shortcut in Windows. This is the default
option, and mklink will use it if you do not enter a prefix.
- /H – creates a hard link to a file
- /J – creates a hard link to a directory or folder
