Some third party hardware use the ln command at installation to link stuff.
ln is not supported by windows. mklink should be used instead https://superuser.com/questions/182553/does-windows-have-the-ln-s-or-equivalent.

Note1: I see absolutely no reason why a link would be needed as the Arduino framework uses FQN's all the time.
Note2: The tests I have done with some of these third party hardware (using ln) seemed tow work fine.
Note3:Arduino IDE does not have this issue as they run in a cygwin runtime that translates the ln to mklink for them.

workaround: run the mkLink command manually (however what needs to be linked to what???)
