Meteor Windows 10 Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink ...dev_bundle

I just installed meteor on my Windows 10 system and tried to start an existing Meteor project by running meteor in the root of the project directory.

This gives an error 

C:\Users\test\AppData\Local\.meteor\packages\meteor-tool\1.4.2\mt-os.windows.x86_32\dev_bundle\lib\node_modules\meteor-promise\promise_server.js:190
      throw error;
      ^

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink 'C:\Users\test\test-meteor-project\.meteor\local\dev_bundle'
    at Error (native)
    at Object.fs.unlinkSync (fs.js:932:18)
    at exports.makeLink (C:\tools\cli\dev-bundle-links.js:20:8)
    at [object Object].ensureDevBundleLink (C:\tools\project-context.js:1444:7)
    at [object Object]._readFile (C:\tools\project-context.js:1378:10)
    at new exports.ReleaseFile (C:\tools\project-context.js:1328:8)
    at C:\tools\cli\main.js:869:22

Running meteor reset gives the same error! What can we do to solve this?

I solve this problem just make a symbolic link. If someone has this problem, just make a symbolic link dev_bundle in '.meteor\packages\meteor-tool\1.4.2\mt-os.windows.x86_32\dev_bundle'

I think that this is the problem your dev_bundle in meteor project unlink to dev_bundle

For anyone else who stumbles across this same issue.

The problem I had was that in the directory where I was tyring to create a new meteor project, there already existed a .meteor folder. (Probably from an earlier failed attempt).

E.g. In the folder Meteor I was trying to create meteor project three

-Meteor
--.meteor
--project one
--project two

The solution was simply to delete the .meteor folder.

Another thing to try is running the cmd window with admin rights.

I've written up this and other Meteor fixes here: http://blacksandsolutions.azurewebsites.net/blog/meteorjs-on-windows-10-2/
