I'm not sure, if it's correct mailing list to post this problem to.

I'm having problems with Windows guest and virtio serial port.
According to this manual:
http://www.spice-space.org/page/Whiteboard/AgentProtocol
I should get a named pipe on my guest VM after I create VirtIO sedial
device and spicevmc channel.
This works without any problems on Linux guest:

ls /dev/virtio-ports/
com.redhat.spice.0

But on Windows guest I can see no such pipe:

virtio serial drivers are installed on Windows guest VM.
What I am missing here?
Thank you.
