Hello, it works!
I didn't remember that I already configured the virtio-serial on a
w2k3 guest I had....
So I ran
sc delete vdservice
sc install vdservice (with the new binaries)
I start the service and it starts ok, remaining started....

I can copy from guest to host and from host to guest!
(using notepad in guest and gedit in host)

Finally!
Let me know if you need further particular tests

Any news for testing also on win7, where I'm unable to run the agent till today?
I have a guest already configured and can test and give feedback. Let me know.

BTW: still, it would be appreciated a clarification about the points I
asked for in my previous e-mail
