vxd loading is broken last months

[Vitaly Lipatov]

CreateFile is not success with somename.vxd (somename.vxd.so 
exists in /usr/lib/wine)

As known open_vxd_handle( LPCWSTR name ) in kernel32/vxd.c have 
to open dummy file in the wineserver directory.
It try use NtCreateFile for open Unix path /tmp/.wine/... and get 
failure.
What part have to be fixed? NtCreateFile or open_vxd_handle?

You can't use NtCreateFile on unix path names.  One approach would be
to change the file path to a Windows-style path (perhaps put the dummy
file in c:\windows).

INT21_CreateMagicDeviceHandle in winedos/int21.c uses the same dummy file 
magic with open file with unix path from wine_get_server_dir().
I guess we could use NtCreateFile on unix path before.
Now we need select correct place for such dummy files inside wine disk tree...
