Can you, as administrator in the guest:
1.
 net stop vdservice
 rm c:\windows\temp\vd*.log
 net start vdservice
 # I assume it fails here
 type c:\windows\temp\vdservice.log | find "CreateFile"

2.
Can you get winobj
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896657)
and see if you see in GLOBAL?? a com.redhat.spice.0 SymbolicLink to
\Device\vport0p1 (or maybe a different number if you have several
virtio-serial ports).
