I have a similar issue, on a USB SSD drive, formatted using exFat. it is probably due to
‘The device does not support symbolic links.’
Is there a way to remove the requirement for symbolic links? Blender 3.1 USD Alpha Branch doesn’t require a symbolic link, and works fine on exFat with Omniverse.

You are right! I install it on a ntfs drive. Thx!

Any status on this? Its been almsot 4 months now, and I still get this error about Symlinks trying to insall this on an exFAT drive. Does it really need to use a symlink for this?
