From the mailing list (https://groups.google.com/a/dartlang.org/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/misc/PKznAUvoCKw):

Hello

I've cleaned my system and all dart related folders and caches and downloaded and extracted the latest version of Dart (Version 0.2.0.r13965, build 13965 SDK version 13983) to "C:\dev\dart" on a clean Windows 2003.
Opened the "todomvc" example
But Pub Install always complains with error:

Running pub install ...
Pub install fail, Resolving dependencies...
Downloading web_components 0.2.0 from hosted...
Downloading html5lib 0.0.13 from hosted...
Downloading js 0.0.3 from hosted...
Could not un-tar (exit code 7). Error:

7-Zip (A) 9.20 Copyright (c) 1999-2010 Igor Pavlov 2010-11-18

Error:
Cannot use absolute pathnames for this command

A few others have chimed in with this problem too.

I took Steve Walker's suggestion: https://codereview.chromium.org/11417102/. Hopefully this will address it. We can't repro the issue locally, so it's hard to tell.

What I wouldn't give for a pure-Dart library for this so I we didn't have to spawn 7zip.

Added Fixed label.

Sorry but this is not fixed. You should be able to reproduce it on XP, Server 2003 - all Pre-Vista machines.

The problem comes with the symbolic links and none of the solutions mentioned in the discussions fixed it yet.

I don't think this issue has anything to do with symbolic links. The 7za tool is used to extract the downloaded archives before they are symlinked into the project directory - on my Windows XP machine if I bypass the link workaround but leave the 7za fix in place the packages are correctly downloaded and unpacked into the Pub cache but not linked to the project.

The symlink problem is discussed in issue #6737.
