mklink

I want to be able to run "mklink path1 path2" from my vb.net project. I fail to do that. I have tried with Shell() function and with Process. With this it only open cmd.exe window and does nothing: Dim process As New Process process.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe" process.StartInfo.Arguments = "mklink """ + arma2oaAddons + """ """ + arma2Addons + """ /j" process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:\" process.Start() And with this I get error "File not found". It can't find mklink.: Shell("mklink """ + arma2oaAddons + """ """ + arma2Addons + """ /j") What is mklink? Mklink is a MS Windows command

I know how to create a symbolic link in windows in a .bat script: mklink /J <LinkPath> <OriginalResourcePath> How to do the same thing in C# ?
