As an alternative, you can permanently assign the right to create symbolic links to a non-admin user by group policies.

Run group policy editor as admin and add the local user of choice to the following local user rights policy: GPO_name\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\create symbolic links
