Subject: [PATCH] kernel32: CreateDirectory shouldn't return ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED for the root of the drive.
Message-Id: <20181211130332.df4244c0451dcacab0fe4803@baikal.ru>
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2018 13:03:32 +0300

According to the testbot results CreateDirectory("C:\\", NULL) fails
with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED for not administrators. However with UAC enabled
and not and administrator account I get ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS in that case
with Windows 7 64-bit running on real hardware. Moreover, Wine doesn't
really perform any access checks in that case and blindly assumes that
returning STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED is correct behaviour for the drive's root:
dlls/ntdll/directory.c,lookup_unix_name().

This patch fixes an application that can't find its data files because
after it receives ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED it stops further directory traversing.
