Allow Symbolic Links on Windows 10

The build process needs to create symbolic links to create plugin projects that correspond to different versions of DCC tools, and by default, this symbolic link creation is not allowed for regular users on Windows 10.

Follow these steps to allow symbolic link creations:

  1. Open Local Security Policy by typing secpol.msc on Windows Command Prompt

LocalSecurityPolicy

  1. Under User Rights Assignment, find a policy called Create symbolic links and open it.
    • Click Add User or Group
    • Click Object Types
    • Make sure Groups is checked and click OK.

  1. Type USERS inside the textbox and click on Check Names to verify it, then click OK.

git config --local core.symlinks true
git config --global core.symlinks true
