Error in creating symlink in Win11

[dgoryeo]

I get the following error while trying to run in Win11 python 3.10.13 environment. It appears that a symbolic link is failing. Any idea how to resolve it? I haven't tried with admin priviledges (it is a bit difficult for me to setup the entire pythin environment under admin).

if you are using vscode or any other IDE, you have to run IDE as administrator. Then this will be solved. let me know if it solves the issue or not.
