yarn-audit-fix: Errors running on windows in git bash: EPERM operation not permitted, could not find parent dir

I get the following error on running npx yarn-audit-fix on windows in git bash:

npx yarn-audit-fix
Preparing temp assets...
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink '..\..' -> 'C:\data\src\<my project>\node_modules\.cache\yarn-audit-fix\node_modules'

running the same in a console with administrator privileges results in this error:

npx yarn-audit-fix
Preparing temp assets...
Generating package-lock.json from yarn.lock...
Error: Could not find parent dir!
    at parentPackagePath (C:\data\src\<my project>\node_modules\synp\util\traverse.js:9:11)
    at C:\data\src\<my project>\node_modules\synp\lib\lockfileV1\tree.js:67:30

thanks for any hints to get it running.

I think this is enough for research. Let’s deal with this separately: #20

rc.11 worked for me, thank you very much for your efforts! 👍
