Windows 10: mklink for hpp file got an error

Hi:I am trying to build a ros2 demo which requires a symlink in the middle, and I got an error here:Starting >>> examples_rclcpp_minimal_composition --- stderr: examples_rclcpp_cbg_executor CMake Error: failed to create symbolic link 'C:/dev/ros2_ws/install/include/examples_rclcpp_cbg_executor/ping_node.hpp': ȷ CMake Error at ament_cmake_symlink_install/ament_cmake_symlink_install.cmake:302 message: Could not create symlink 'C:/dev/ros2_ws/install/include/examples_rclcpp_cbg_executor/ping_node.hpp' pointing to 'C:/dev/ros2_ws/src/examples/rclcpp/executors/cbg_exec

powershell error mklink

Trying to use Mklink in powershell but errors as not a cmdlet.

 

Can't delete folders/files within a symbolic link or junction mklink

Thanks again. I just tried this - assuming a performed all steps correctly:



I then created the new symlink and got the same results when trying to delete a folder:

 

mklink cannot create file already exists

Just ran into a ""we can't sign into your account" problem due to some unnecessary update that has clearly messed up my registry. Anyway, I have gone down the duplicating and restoring to a new account. Again one step forward and three back. I heavily rely in mklinks They are wonderful things and help circumvent son much of the awful 'upgrades' from Microsoft. Now it seems that they don't seem to want to work. I now get an error that says .

mklink cannot create file already exists

There is no file with the name that conflicts in the folder.

Any ideas of what's going wrong?
