On my system which is pretty much default Win 10, soft link creation does not require elevated privileges.

If soft link creation of staxrip fails then maybe starting staxrip as admin once for soft link creation might help.

Creating the links manually will not work however, staxrip uses absolute paths for soft link creation, it saves the location in the settings only if the creation succeeds and verifies that the staxrip location hasn't changed, if the creation did not succeed or the location has changed then staxrip will recreate the links.

It's probably not working in Win 7, even with elevated privileges Win 7 might not allow creation without changing permissions.

If avisynth 3.6.1 x64 is installed then users can go into the staxrip settings dialog and disable portable mode, after staxrip is restarted it will use the installed avisynth and don't create any soft links.
