Edit Link Dialog

Location

  • Directory
  • Pick the directory where the link should be installed. You can change it using the [ Browse... ] button via the Folder Picker Dialog
  • Name
  • Specify the name of the link. This field is of pseudo-formatted type. You can localize this value.

Target

Specify the path to the link's target file.

Type

Specify the type of the link:

  • Hard link to File
  • Creates a link of type Hard link to File. A hard link is the file system representation of a file by which more than one path references a single file in the same volume.
  • Symbolic Link to File
  • Creates a link of type Symbolic Link to File. This represents a file-system object that points to another file.
  • Symbolic Link to Directory
  • Creates a link of type Symbolic Link to Directory. This represents a file-system object that points to a directory.
  • Directory Junction
  • Creates a link of type Junction. A junction (or a soft link) is almost identical to a hard link, the difference being that the objects it references are separate directories, and it can link directories located on different local volumes on the same computer.

Options

  • Component
  • The component which will contain the link. When this component is installed the link is created. Also, the link is removed when the component is uninstalled.
