Hi, ive another question but maybe it is still implemented.

We often use VC to copy folders to another share. Sometimes ppl just put a .lnk file in instead of the valid file.

Is it possible - maybe through a variable, let VC resolve this link and copy the file behind the shortcut instead of the .lnk file.

Thanks, Sebastian

We do not have any built in way for that. Lnk-files are some kind of binary files. However, we took the time to create a small exe that can get the Target path for a lnk file. You could use this in an Execute Task.

I am attaching the project with exe.

Hello Hendrik,
thanks for you very quick response.

Do you mean i should start the first task to execute "getlinkpath.exe" in the target workdir - and start a second task with copying the variables of the first task?

Somehow if i execute the getlink - VC will just say "Error description was not found" - Exception in Task: Non zero exit code

Regards, Sebastian

You need to supply a full path to the lnk file as argument.
