Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Windows (64bit) - only tested in git-bash - currently presumed failing due to symlink issues in git-bash

Describe the solution you'd like
In Windows I suggest to use mklink and you can use it when in Win env. The problem is that by default windows user does not have permissions to create links this is reserved to admin users.
You could ad prereq and check if user has rights to create symlink
Here some piece of python that checks that - may be useful : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2094663/determine-if-windows-process-has-privilege-to-create-symbolic-link
