Ive looked through the forum quite a bit and I believe I may have a unique topic.
I hope this is in the right section
Thank you for your help!
Let me explain:
I used Junction.exe in cmd.exe to create a link from the roaming file to a new roaming file on a seperate hard drive.
The reason is because my main drive is a regular 7200 rpm and my other drive a 14gb RAMDISK I created for my games and iTunes because it makes loading screans and rendering problems disapear.
(SSD - 500* mb/s RAMDISK - 8000* mb/s) *average file read/write spead
Even just having the .exe on the seperate drive sped things up dramatically (and I have a GOOD computer/graphics card XD.)
Other games install just fine to this, but because minecraft does not ask where to install its program, i used cmd to try link it to the seperate drive.
Other programs that have this same problem (ex. google chrome) have redirected with no problem at all.
Basically its a shortcut in your roaming file called .minecraft that links to the other hard drives .minecraft folder.
Its not the same as literally creating a link, the program will totally ignore it unless you use Junction.exe to create it, for some reason (even though would look the same afterwards.)
Anyway, heres my error code. I can inculde a picture if that would help (its not a complex error screen though lol.)
Failed to launch
Fatal error occured (2): The working directory could not be created. C:\Users\\\\\\\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft

So you're trying to install it somewhere else, and then Hardlink it to the actual .minecraft folder in appdata?
Try installing it, but then moving the minecraft.jar to wherever you want, and using Magic Launcher to point it to the jar. I don't know if that will help, but we can try it and see what happens. i have some other hardlinking ideas too.
