Description
VirtualBox 5.0.12 is erasing Symbolic Links after installation.
Never thought by simply installing VirtualBox something like this would happen. I don´t have a vbox.log because I just installed it successfully (VBox didn't crash)

I had a simply symbolic link on my user folder. Like C:\Users\Myname to another hard drive D:\Users\Myname
Its like a shotcut but works better than one
And when i finished installing vbox all my applicattions started crashing, at the moment i didnt knew why so i restarted my desktop. When it booted up i was getting a login error. Searched a little in the internet and nothing seemed to be the problem. So i booted with a pendrive to unlock the administrator user, and i found the symbolic link that i had made wasn't there.
this command: mklink /d C:\Users\Myname D:\Users\Myname
i've seen another ticket about issues with symbolic links in a linux system too
Sorry, we need more information. Which symbolic link is removed?
