I use Windows at work, when trying to deploy my function jaws deploy

It turns out Windows needs Admin authentication for symlink to work.
I figured posting this as an issue would help people save some time
debugging.

Best.

Thanks for this. We'll try to find away around this.

Update 8/13/15:

We’re currently working on a document that outlines the specifications for JAWS v1.0.0.

A proposed resolution to this issue in particular is included in that document.

Today or tomorrow, we will share the document for everyone to comment on because your feedback is essential.

Fixed in JAWS v1. No more symlinking!
