[UPDATE] Can Mod Assistant create symLinks? #24

Description

@jtsage

This is a pinned message to refer back to, but the short answer is: no

The longer answer is:

To create a symLink in windows 10+, one of the following needs to be true:
1.) You need to be a local admin with development mode turned on
2.) You need to edit the group policies to give yourself the symlink privilege.
3.) The entire program needs to run with elevated access (as Administrator)

As we don't like any of these ideas, the decision has been made to not include this functionality at this time. Should these requirements change in the future, this will be reconsidered.
