I can't seem to get this to work mklink

What are you trying to do

What have I done wrong?

Not allowing Malwarebytes to install to its standard location.
Malwarebytes is one you do not want to custom install to prevent future issues.
Stick with defaults trust me.

I'm using 2 directories
1. C:\programfiles\malwarewarebytes\anti-malware
2. E:\utilities\anti\malware\malwarebytes\antimalwRare
I created a mklink \d "c:\programfiles\malwarebytes\antimalware" " e:\utilities\anti\malware\malwarebyte\antimalware"
With this line I get " Cannot create file that already exists "
What file is it talking about?
How do I edit this to make it work?
Which directory do I need to create 1 or 2?
What have I done wrong?
Thanks to all of you for the excellent help, John

Haven't tried mklink but looking at the line #2 shows what might be an errant R in the folder name and the switch in the command mklink might need to be the / forward slash, used with most switches in commands.

Line #1 has a missing space in the folder name.

And I agree, diagnostic programs tend to work better when installed on the same partition as the OS.

I'm trying to use a link to install Malwarebytes on the e drive.

The big question is why. Malwarebytes can encounter issues if not installed on the OS drive.

Now do I put the mklink Line before the installation file or after???

as in program files? not programfiles?

but would dos make that program~1?

Im trying to organize my Hard drive. put the types of programs together!

You don't with Malwarebytes if you wish it to run correctly...
