title: Symfony2 and Assetics : symlink on Windows 7?
body: <p>I'm having a hard time using assetics to load resources in my views (I work with Symfony2).
  I was working on Linux (Ubuntu 10.4) and switched to Windows 7 a few days ago. I've always been having trouble (some images didn't load for example), but at least most images, and all styles and scripts were loading alright.</p>
  
  <p>When I switched to Windows, some resources weren't loading, so I tried a <code>php app/console assets:install web --symlink</code></p>
  
  <p>I was quite surprised to see that it had deleted the whole public folder of the bundle I was working on. And there was no way to find the sources again (fortunately, I had saved some of them, and I was able to retrieve most of my work thanks to cached files).</p>
  
  <p>After I've recovered my files (and backed them up), I tried to command again. Same result. I tried without the <code>--symlink</code> and it created some folders in the <code>web/bundle</code> folder, instead of files that were there before (supposedly, the symlinks).</p>
  
  <p>Now the command doesn't even answer anymore (it has been erasing my sources even in some of my backup folders!!).</p>
  
  <p>Bottom-line : is there a way to configure assetics on Windows 7 so that it doesn't eat my files and loads the resources (including images in css) correctly?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p>Edit :</p>
  
  <p>I just ran the command again and this time it worked (copied the files in web/bundle/...). I must say I don't really understand how or why it worked this time... If by chance anyone knows...</p>
