I had the same issue on Windows 8 (not 8.1), no link created in regular or run 
as admin.
If I tried to remake the link, I would get notified that it will overwrite the 
existing one (though no link existed, I checked though cmd prompt).

I found another program similar to this one that could not use symbolic links, 
but required a download of dll files (Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Runtime 
Libraries).
Since I downloaded and installed the dlls, Symlinker has worked (if "Run as 
Administrator").

(If link fails scroll to the bottom of the page)
vcredist_x64.exe (64-Bit) and vcredist_x86.exe (32-bit)

Hi,

This error is due to the fact directory junctions only work on local NTFS 
volumes, if you do a regular symlink it would work fine.

Code changes have been made to notify this to the user.
