[MCL-5528] Can't use hard-linked .minecraft directory

ACTUAL LAUNCHER VERSION IS 2.0.760 - WEBSITE WONT LET ME ENTER IT.

I use a hard link (mklink /H) in my appdata folder to link my .minecraft folder to a different hard drive (as my primary drive has low space).

With the previous launcher, this was no issue and functioned fine, however my launcher has recently updated and now I receive the following:

Error details: The system cannot find the file specified
Filename on disk: .minecraft
Path: C:\Users[REDACTED]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
Exists: directory

The new launcher does not support appdata location change anymore. Use the --workDir argument instead.
See MCL-5294.

Thank you for your help, that appears to have resolved the issue.
I couldn't find that report when searching through already submitted reports, my apologies.
