exploring this problem a little with RemoveDriveByLetter and I believe that it is not working because the SymbolicLink entry is not added as a "real" thing in Wine. Performing an experiment with accessing the same drive letter in three different ways (results below, last parameter is "hDrive") I see that only the call with the registry-returned value for the drive fails (even if it is added to "HKLM/System/MountedDevices"). I believe that a call to IoCreateSymbolicLink must be made in order for the name returned by the registry to be recognized as an alias for the drive. I think iTunes is probably going through the device tree looking for its vendor and product code. It should get this back from CM_Get_Device_ID, but I do not have Windows so I cannot fake iTunes out to confirm this.
