Good news: I've found a Windows solution (https://serverfault.com/questions/345341/cant-create-symlinks-in-virtualbox-shared-folders):

1. Run the VBoxManage.exe command: for example D:\Programs\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe setextradata VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/ 1
2. Restart the VirtualBox with Administrator privilege. You can right click on the Oracle VM VirtualBox, choose 'Run this program as an administrator' in the Compatibility tab.
