Re: [GNC] Can't use GnuCash with Windows VHD (virtual hard drive)?

Hi, sorry for the late reply.  I did not see an email reply to my 
original post, so this is the latest I found at the archive. I must have 
something mis-configured on my end that I don't get replies.

To the topic, as mentioned below, yes that is exactly what I'm referring 
to, a junction point, which can be created with the standard 
"*mountvol*" command under Windows. It doesn't work with GnuCash.

In other words, my VHD does not get a drive letter, rather it is mounted 
under a directory (folder), which exists on a regular NTFS volume with a 
drive letter.

One of the two helpful replies mentioned an image, so attached is the 
Windows properties screen for my VHD mounted in a folder named "custom".

Again, my problem is that GnuCash seems to not know how to view this 
pathname.  All my other software does (dozens of programs), but at least 
one ( the File Manager that I mentioned previously) does have an option 
on whether or not to show "Junction" in the display of files & folders.
