[patch] doesn't recognize multiple comm ports in Win 7 - issue	#2783
Description of the problem in the MSDN:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/en-en/library/aa363858(v=vs.85).aspx
"To specify a COM port number greater than 9, use the following syntax: "\\.\COM10".
This syntax works for all port numbers and hardware that allows COM port numbers to
be specified."
But there is not quite right :) They write "\\.\COM10" it's not going to work.
Correctly so: "\\\\.\\COM10"

I tested on Win7x32, COM > 9. Work correctly.
