I run Windows 8.1 32-bit.\r\n\r\nI unpack the downloaded archive to some folder and I have a *symlink* to this folder at some other location (actually, it's currently a *directory junction*, but the behavior remains the same if I create a true *symbolic link* supported since Windows Vista).\r\n\r\nEverything's good when I run **mkvtoolnix-gui** from real folder, but if I run it from symlink folder it crashes with *Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error* when I try to add any file. At the same time, the older **mkvmerge gui (mmg)** of the corresponding version runs without errors from any type of location."}}
