Windows PS tar cannot extract cuegui

[smith1511]

Describe the bug Running tar -xzf cuegui-xxx-.tar.gz fails to extract two files from the archive.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a powershell terminal
2. Run 'tar -xzf cuegui-0.3.43-all.tar.gz'
3. Error -> The two files below fail to extract, all others succeed.

cuegui-0.3.43-all/cuegui/images/crystal/icons.qrc: Can't create '\\?\C:\Users\abc\Downloads\cuegui-0.3.43-all\cuegui\images\crystal\icons.qrc' cuegui-0.3.43-all/cuegui/images/bluecurve/icons.qrc: Can't create '\\?\C:\Users\abc\Downloads\cuegui-0.3.43-all\cuegui\images\bluecurve\icons.qrc' tar.exe: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

Expected behavior All files should extract on Windows. Linux works fine.

Version Number Various

@smith1511 It is happening because .qrc files are symbolic links which can be extracted only if you have administrative privilege.

I have tried with extracting it with 7z and WinRAR after running it as administrator. I am searching for some solutions using tar command and will update this issue thread ASAP.

Any update or workaround on this issue? It also occurs in a powershell terminal with administrative privileges.
