    Description

      Currently if extracted 7z package contains a symbolic link, installer fails with Fatal: Creating a link from archive is not implemented for windows.

      cross compilation toolchains generated with yocto contain numerous symbolic links that now need to be copied as actual files, which increases 7z size considerable.
