Using cf 6.21.0, getting a symlink error on Windows 7:

d:\Users\koperd\Downloads\bin>cf save-target dies-test
Error: symlink D:\Users\koperd\.cf\targets\dies-test.config.json D:\Users\koperd\.cf\targets\current: A required privilege is not
held by the client.

If you haven't solved this already, right-click your command prompt and choose "Run as administrator" and retry. This fixes your error.

I don't have a Windows system at hand to verify this or to work on improving the behavior on that platform. @dkoper, did @findneville's suggestion resolve the issue?
