createSymLink function

void createSymLink({ required String targetPath, required String linkPath, })

On Windows you need to be in developer mode or running as an Administrator to create a symlink.

To enable developer mode see: https://dcli.onepub.dev/getting-started/installing-on-windows

To check if your script is running as an administrator use:

Shell.current.isPrivilegedUser
