My starting point of installing Vagrant on Windows:
https://www.sitepoint.com/getting-started-vagrant-windows/
http://tech.osteel.me/posts/2015/01/25/how-to-use-vagrant-on-windows.html
If you are attempting to use Vagrant with VirtualBox, you may encountered issues with mounting shared folders.
Update VirtualBox to 5.1.18r114002
E:\Vagrant\sitepoint>vagrant version
Installed Version: 1.9.3
Latest Version: 1.9.3
You're running an up-to-date version of Vagrant!
E:\Vagrant\sitepoint>vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on `vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.

default: Guest Additions Version: 4.3.36
default: VirtualBox Version: 5.1
==> default: Mounting shared folders...
default: /vagrant => E:/Vagrant/sitepoint
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 uid=1000,gid=1000 vagrant /vagrant
The error output from the command was:
: No such file or directory

Update VirtualBox and Try Again
This time, create new directory: E:\Vagrant\ubuntu
E:\Vagrant\ubuntu>vboxmanage –version

E:\Vagrant\ubuntu>vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on `vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.
