Those are the default data. According to X-Plane documentation, the custom data should be installed in the custom data folder. If you don't have custom data folder, you can link whatever you want, also Resources\Default Data.
You miss elevation privileged, as mentioned in the manual, that's required in order to create a symbolic link in windows
