    I use visual studio from a windows 7 VM. One of our build scripts creates some symlinks during compilation. I host my source on my mac drive and use parallels shared drives to map my mac home folder as a windows drive.

    this build script attempts and fails to create symlinks between folders on this mapped drive. It runs from a .bat file in windows on the guest.

    If I try to manually create a symlink in windows on the host drive using `mklink` I get an error like not supported on device.

    Is there anything I can do here?
