Another problem is that certain aspects of the job continue to behave as if it
is still running on Linux.
As shown below, the job attempts to create a sym-link--even though it is now
running on Windows (from the Console text):
Started by user anonymous
ln builds\lastSuccessfulBuild D:\Jenkins\jobs\testjob\lastSuccessful failed
hudson.util.jna.WinIOException: Failed to create a symlink
D:\Jenkins\jobs\testjob\lastSuccessful to builds\lastSuccessfulBuild
error=183:Cannot create a file when that file already exists
