Symlinking

To speed acceptance tests we do a download of dependencies once and then ideally we would want to symlink those dependencies to the project under test. What we found was that first things seemed fine and then we started seeing "too many symlink" errors which failed the build. We're wondering if we have the ability to turn on symlink privileges as described here http://www.ember-cli.com/#symlinks-on-windows.

Thanks,
Chad

   Hi Chad,

   Build worker user appveyor is already a member of Administrators group and UAC is disabled (or "set to a lowest level" is better applicable to Windows Server 2012 R2 - see attached screenshot). I ran a simple test to make sure symlinks are working: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/appvyr/nuget-test/build/1.0.80

   What exact error are you getting?
