刷新我的PC操作后指向无效路径的SymLinks [英] SymLinks pointing to invalid paths after Refresh My PC operation

问题描述

一位用户打电话来抱怨他无法在Windows 8平板电脑上安装我们的桌面应用软件。

A user called to complain that he was unable to install our desktop application software on his Windows 8 tablet.

我们已成功在其他Windows 8系统上安装该应用程序，包括平板电脑。

We have successfully installed the application on other Windows 8 systems, including tablets.

在调查中，我发现SymLink"应用程序数据"在C：\ ProgramData文件夹中被定向到"C：\ $ SysReset \ Image \ProgramData"。 在安装应用程序没有问题的其他系统上，同样的SymLink
被定向到"C：\ProgramData"。

On investigation I found that the SymLink "Application Data" in the C:\ProgramData folder was directed to "C:\$SysReset\Image\ProgramData".  On other systems where the application installed without problems the same SymLink was directed to "C:\ProgramData".

经过一些额外的研究后，我发现C： \ $ SysReset 文件夹（隐藏）是在执行"刷新我的电脑"后创建的。操作。

After some additional research I found that the C:\$SysReset folder (hidden) is created after performing a "Refresh My PC" operation.

问题是虽然有一个C：\ $ SysReset文件夹，但没有C：\ $ SysReset \ Image文件夹。因此，当安装程序尝试将文件夹添加到C：\ProgramData \ Application Data时，它会链接到不存在的C：\ $ SysReset \ Image \ProgramData
并且安装失败（它会发出一个误导性的错误消息："指定的路径太长了C：\ProgramData \ Application Data \ NewFolder""。

The problem is that while there is a C:\$SysReset folder there is no C:\$SysReset\Image folder. Consequently, when the installer tries to add a folder to C:\ProgramData\Application Data it gets linked to C:\$SysReset\Image\ProgramData which doesn't exist and the install fails (it issues a misleading error message: "The specified path is too long C:\ProgramData\Application Data\NewFolder").

我的问题是： 执行"刷新我的电脑"后，为什么符号链接会被破坏？ ？操作 我说破了，因为他们提到了不存在的路径。坦率地说，我不会期望它们会受到刷新操作的影响。

My question is this:  Why are the symlinks broken after performing a "Refresh My PC" operation?  I say broken because they refer to nonexistent paths. I frankly would not have expected them to be affected by the refresh operation.

推荐答案

我不确定为什么会这样。本主题涉及在x64 Windows平板电脑上安装Windows 8桌面应用程序。它与Surface WinRT操作系统无关。

I'm not sure why this was moved. This topic refers to installation of a Windows 8 Desktop application on an x64 Windows tablet. It has nothing to do with the Surface WinRT OS.

如果此举得到正确的关注并帮助我解决问题，我将不会反对。

If this move gets the correct attention and helps me resolve the issue I will not object.
