Description
Steps to reproduce
## I intend to create a symbolic link `foo` pointing to the directory 'bar'.
## However, I incorrectly specified the target directory path as the argument to `-Path`.
mkdir F:\temp\bar
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path F:\temp\bar -Value F:\temp\foo
Expected behavior
Error message should be meaningful and useful
Actual behavior
PS:62> New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path F:\temp\bar -Value F:\temp\foo
New-Item : NewItemIOError
At line:1 char:1
+ New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path F:\temp\bar -Value F:\temp\foo
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ResourceExists: (F:\temp\bar:String) [New-Item], IOException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NewItemIOError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewItemCommand
