Hi,

I’m trying to change the short name of a Paratext 8 project using the
Convert Project utility.

During conversion, I get the error message, ‘The conversion of the
project failed. Unable to create junction point.’

Any guidance about how to resolve the issue?

Best wishes,

The Convert Project code uses the “junction point” feature of Windows NTFS formatted drives to make the process more efficient.

You must have your “My Paratext 8 Projects” folder on a drive that is not NTFS. I think encrypted drives also don’t support junction points.

One person worked around this my moving the “My Paratext 8 Projects” folder to the C: drive. Paratext will let you select the new location when it does find the location it was using.

I hesitate to point out that you asked this same question a while back. The answer is the same. :wink:
