While working on one software, I face the requirement
to untar a tar file on windows and it contains symlinks as
well.

While untaring it using tar -xvf abc.tar, it gives me below
error for symlinks:

tar.exe: xyz/1234: Cannot create symlink to `E:\\sym_loc': Not a directory

The directory sym_loc already exists, is this a known
limitation of tar on Windows?

Is there any solution/workaround for same?
