Update junction in Windows 8.1

See more:

Windows

redirection

cmd

I'm doing this:


net stop wuauserv

then:

rename c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

and then:

mklink E:\windows\SoftwareDistribution \D

I'm doing `\d` in the end because otherwise it doesn't work and \d because of the same reason.

and then:

mklink /J C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution "E:\windows\SoftwareDistribution

so then I try to

net start wuauserv

and I get this message:

C:\Windows\system32>NET START WUAUSERV
The Windows Update service is starting.
The Windows Update service could not be started.

A system error has occurred.

System error 3 has occurred.

The system cannot find the path specified.


So what am I doing wrong? Can somebody help me?
