They should be two different commands on two lines. But, if your Windows
installation is not on your 'D' drive, then to make typing easier (the
results of your commands more visible), first select your 'D' drive. So,
three commands in total, as follows, in a Windows 'command prompt' window;

D:
cd D:\ROStuff\V-RPCEmuROD\hostfs
mklink /D share D:\

Thats the three commands. The first 'D:' selects your 'D' Drive. The
second changes directory. The third creates the link. In the third
command, the '/D' has nothing to do with D Drive, it means create a
directory link and 'share' could be any legal name of your choice.
