Error is in grunt symlink when creating symlinks for githooks

This works in wsl, but not in native windows - maybe the solution is to use only wsl.

Steps to Reproduce

On Windows (not wsl!)

Follow: https://ghost.org/docs/install/source/

Fails on yarn setup

Ghost Version

4.32.0

Node.js Version

16.13.0

Don't know if you tried this yet, but running command prompt as an administrator worked for some reason.
