A symbolic link on a folder, in other words a junction, means that when you use the c:\apache24\ folder, it's as if you were using the target folder.
On the other hand, putting all the files in c:\apache24\ is not normal, as openssl.cnf is originally in c:\apache24\conf\ and the other files ibcrypto-3-x64.dll, libssl-3-x64.dll, openssl.exe are in c:\apache24\bin
If you have to put everything in the same folder, your procedure is badly written.
