During creation of appimage in windows system is used os.Symlink . Unfortunately this requires admin rights on Windows without developer mode:

Maybe it would be nice to add some condition to have possibility to use this tool without admin rights (restricted by company):

It could be some env. variable e.g. Solution is to use window command mklink with "/J" (Junction) parameter.
