Cygwin creates <JUNCTIONS> instead of <SYMLINK> on NTFS, but cmd.exe cannot find the *.exe if they are linked as <JUNCTIONS>.
Two test cases: $ bash -c $'rm -f id_vers15.exe ; cp /usr/bin/id.exe id_vers15.exe ; ln -sf id_vers15.exe myid.exe ; cmd /C \'.\\\\\myid.exe\'' $ bash -c $'rm -f id_vers15.exe ; cp /usr/bin/id.exe id_vers15.exe ; ln -sf id_vers15.exe myid.exe ; powershell -Command \'.\\\\\myid.exe\'' In both test cases the copied and linked myid.exe cannot be executed. Is there a way to fix this?
