Hey there,

today I got the interesting issue of symbolic in windows while working on the Drupal project, so I think to share with everyone how I fixed it quickly, so if any one else getting the same he can fix it too..

Let's start....

So, below are the screenshot of what I got as error, Actually I am working on my favorite Drupal project with xampp and installing modules using composer, inbetween somewhere windows required to create the symbolic link and normal command line does not have the access to it so it throw the error.

cannot create symbolic link ...

although its a common error, not only this type but other software also require such permission. 

How to FIX this :

Its actually very simple, lauch your command line with administrator access and hit the same command that causing issue. and Boom you FIXED it....

Command line as admin..
