How to install asset in Symfony2 manually?

Question

When I try to install assets using this command:

 assets:install web --symlink

I get this exception:

[InvalidArgumentException]
The symlink() function is not available on your system. You need to install
the assets without the --symlink option.

That is because I'm using windows XP. So I tried to solve this installing Link Shell Extension: http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html#introduction

and now the problem is that I do not know which files need to be a symbolic link.

I tried doing the folder "MyBundle/resources/public" a symbolic to the folder "web" of my project, and it does not work.

Answer 1

The windows system does not support symbolic links. It copy / paste files instead. So you can only used this command :

assets:install web 

or

assets:install
