B4J Code Snippet CreateSymbolicLink - code to create a symbolic link (on Windows or Linux) [B4J]

I needed this for a project and didn't find an easier solution (by all means tell me if one exists) so I came up with this code:

' Creates a symbolic link
'
' IMPORTANT: must be run as Administrator on Windows (or Files.createSymbolicLink in the Java code will fail)
'
' Dependencies: the JavaObject library
'
' Parms:
' - linkPath: String: the path of the symbolic link
' - realFilePath: String: the path of the target file to which 'linkPath' will point
' - overwriteExisting: True to first delete 'linkPath' if it already exists; if False and 'linkPath' exists, an error occurs
'
' Returns: True if the operation succeeded, False if an error occurred (or if running on Windows without Administrator privilege)
'
' Example:
' Dim link As String = "C:\Users\me\Downloads\linktoreal.txt"
' Dim realfile As String = "C:\Users\me\Downloads\realfilehere.txt"
' xui.MsgboxAsync("Done; success: " & CreateSymbolicLink(link, realfile, True), "Result")
'
' Derived from:

Sub CreateSymbolicLink(linkPath As String, realFilePath As String, overwriteExisting As Boolean) As Boolean

    ' Must run as Administrator on Windows; assumption: drive C: exists
    Try
        If File.Exists("c:\", "") Then
            File.WriteString("c:\", "runasadmin.test", "test")
            File.Delete("c:\", "runasadmin.test")
        End If
    Catch
        Return False
    End Try

    Return Me.As(JavaObject).RunMethod("createSymbolicLink", Array(linkPath, realFilePath, overwriteExisting))

End Sub

#if java
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.io.*;
public static Boolean createSymbolicLink(String linkPath, String realFilePath, Boolean overwriteExisting) throws IOException {
    try {
        Path target = Paths.get("", realFilePath);
        Path link = Paths.get("", linkPath);
        if (overwriteExisting) {
            if (Files.exists(link)) {
                Files.delete(link);
            }
        }
        Files.createSymbolicLink(link, target);
        return true;
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
      return false;
    }
}
#End If
