RE: [platform-update-dev] Links file change proposal
|

Also note that if you are on Windows, you must escape file separators as
in:
path=c:\\my\\product\\root\\

Please respond to
platform-update-dev
Yep, that's what I was looking at. I've apparently managed
to confuse myself somehow... I'll have to go back and take
a closer look to figure out what went wrong.
