It shows this error message:
winln: you don't permission to create symbolic links. Run, as administrator,
winln:   editrights -a SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege -a $YOUR_USER
which should be fixed somehow like this:
You don't have permission to create symbolic links. Run, as administrator,
         editrights -a SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege -u $USER
Moreover, this advice does not help. Even after having issued this
command as administrator, winln -s still works as administrator only.
