Vagrant unable to mount shared folders - No such file or directory

Question

I have this Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty32"
  config.vm.hostname = "app.local"
  config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.20.20"

  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", :mount_options => ['dmode=774','fmode=775']

  config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
    vb.name = "MyBox"
    vb.memory = 512
    vb.cpus = 2
  end

  config.vm.provision :shell, path: "install.sh"
end

that I used so far without problems (on Ubuntu and Windows). On Windows 10, I have upgraded both Oracle VM Virtual Box (5.1.16) and Vagrant (1.9.2) and now I get this error when trying to install the box:

Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:
 mount -t vboxsf -o dmode=774,fmode=775,uid=1000,gid=1000 vagrant /vagrant

 The error output from the command was:
 : No such file or directory

I also see this:

GuestAdditions versions on your host (5.1.16) and guest (4.3.36) do not match. * Stopping VirtualBox Additions

and then it looks like the GuestAdditions is removed and the 5.1.16 version is installed, steps that ends with:

vboxadd.sh: Building Guest Additions kernel modules. vboxadd.sh: Starting the VirtualBox Guest Additions. Could not find the X.Org or XFree86 Window System, skipping.

After this, I still get:

Got different reports about installed GuestAdditions version:
Virtualbox on your host claims: 4.3.36 VBoxService inside the vm claims: 5.1.16 Going on, assuming VBoxService is correct... Got different reports about installed GuestAdditions version: Virtualbox on your host claims: 4.3.36 VBoxService inside the vm claims: 5.1.16 Going on, assuming VBoxService is correct...

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Seems to be a bug in Virtualbox 5.1.16 (maybe only Windows 10?). stackoverflow.com/questions/42796016/… — Fender

It looks like this was fixed in 5.1.18. Updating to the latest version fixed the problem for me.

Change Log (Version 5.1.18):

Shared Folders: fixed case insensitive filename access (5.1.16 regression; Windows guests only; bug #16549)

Shared Folders: fixed access to long pathes (5.1.16 regression; Windows guests only; bugs #14651, #16564)
