Thank you @hassan-pdx for your report.

Nice to see you trying tipi and thanks for the great report with the attached example, we rely on the Symlinks support on Windows.

Which windows version and which tipi version are you using ? tipi -h should tell you at the top of the output.

The bad_alloc is not clear to me and It feels to me that you are using an older version because you have got a .tipi/id file generated, that by the way has a **** in it, I suppose you anonymized the information manually ?

Regarding the symlink warning you can enable them by enabling developer mode in Windows Settings :

1. Click on Privacy & security.
2. Select the For developers page on the right side.
3. Turn on the Developer Mode toggle switch to enable the feature.

Or run in an elevated powershell : PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModelUnlock" /t REG_DWORD /f /v "AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense" /d "1"

Hi Damien,

Well, Developer Mode is already enabled on my machine.

And I'm using Windows 10 and tipi - v0.0.56 - c++ companion.

By the way, I've just installed tipi this morning following the Onboarding Wizard steps, so I assume it's the latest?

And yes, I anonymized the username.

This should have been fixed by the recent v0.0.66 pre-release.
