fixed 'required privilege' error (1314) on windows

[thomasdorch]

On running instal_tech.py, the following error was occuring due to permissions issues with the os.symlink method:

OSError: [WinError 1314] A required privilege is not held by the client

Using subprocess.check_call creates a "junction" rather than a symlink and fixes this error.
