Running a windows app export fails with error due to no symbolic link support ln_s support: This error occurs in both the the dos and cygwin shell.

I'm afraid I don't have your problem on my Windows VM. It shouldn't be trying to symlink when you export apps on Windows, instead, it should display a warning. To help get to the bottom of this, would you mind firing up an IRB console and telling me the value of your RUBY_PLATFORM?
