error when extracting #2

Open opnoobkiller opened 10 months ago

opnoobkiller commented 10 months ago

when extracting I get this error: Cannot create symbolic link : A required privilege is not held by the client. : D:\SBTool-master\SBTool-master\exec

I was hopping there was a releases tab for this sbtool, as usually when I extract master zips they have no executable file and I get lost on how to build the whole project as an exe

@opnoobkiller Are you using Windows 10 or prior? And what are you using to extract the zip archive?

Click to see my hypothesis regarding this problem, if you're interested On Windows, creating symlinks ("symbolic links") required adminstrator privileges prior to Windows 11, so if you're using Windows 10 or older, that would explain why you're getting an error which complains about "required privileges". ### What doesn't make sense, however, is...why is an attempt being made to create a symlink in the first place? That's why I asked what you're using to extract the zip archive - I'm wondering if something weird is going on here...perhaps relating to quirks of different zip extraction implementations? I guess we'll see soon enough...

I am extracting using 7zip, I've always used it and in sites where they give me a passkey for extraction I used that, but in some cases I never had to use a passkey. Yes, I'm using windows 10 and I have no clue why it's trying to create a "symbolic link"; however, if your project here all builds perfectly into an exe then making a public release of this master git should work, should it have the exe and various sources to make the exe work. Also I have one question on this, I am making a level editor for the HD remake using blender and python as the base. I was wondering if this program allows me to extract .aem, as my guess leads me to believe this is a model or model data, which I would like to use for my blender addon. If you are interested my repository and src will go up later on today, but not right now as I need to fix a few bugs, make a few buttons, and add author info so it's not claimed as stolen.

Also I would like to chat on discord, as I have a few more questions and concerns on getting files from Switchball HD. discord is: livelearnregret
