The libguestfs-winsupport subpackage can now be used for performing virtual-to-virtual (virt-v2v) and physical-to-virtual (virt-p2v) conversions of Windows guests. However, with several exceptions such as virt-win-reg, it is no longer possible to use most libguestfs tools on Windows disk images.

Description

I can reproduce this issue with package:
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.44.el7.x86_64
libvirt-1.2.17-1.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.44.el7.x86_64
Steps:
# guestfish -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/win7.qcow2 -i
guestfish: no operating system was found on this disk
If using guestfish '-i' option, remove this option and instead
use the commands 'run' followed by 'list-filesystems'.
You can then mount filesystems you want by hand using the
'mount' or 'mount-ro' command.
If using guestmount '-i', remove this option and choose the
filesystem(s) you want to see by manually adding '-m' option(s).
Use 'virt-filesystems' to see what filesystems are available.
If using other virt tools, this disk image won't work
with these tools. Use the guestfish equivalent commands
(see the virt tool manual page).
RHEL notice
-------------
libguestfs will return this error for Microsoft Windows guests if the
separate 'libguestfs-winsupport' package is not installed. If the
guest is running Microsoft Windows, please try again after installing
'libguestfs-winsupport'.
# virt-inspector /var/lib/libvirt/images/win7.qcow2
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<operatingsystems/>
Then try to verify this bug with new build:
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.46.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.46.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-xfs-1.28.1-1.46.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-winsupport-7.2-1.el7.x86_64
# virt-inspector /var/lib/libvirt/images/win7.qcow2
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<operatingsystems/>
# guestfish -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/win7.qcow2 -i
guestfish: no operating system was found on this disk
--------------------------------^ win7.qcow2 is a disk with operating system, is it a bug?
If using guestfish '-i' option, remove this option and instead
use the commands 'run' followed by 'list-filesystems'.
You can then mount filesystems you want by hand using the
'mount' or 'mount-ro' command.
If using guestmount '-i', remove this option and choose the
filesystem(s) you want to see by manually adding '-m' option(s).
Use 'virt-filesystems' to see what filesystems are available.
If using other virt tools, this disk image won't work

Hi rjones, please help have a look, are above steps enough to reproduce and verify this bug, thanks.

No this is not a bug. libguestfs-winsupport is supposed to only be usable from virt-v2v and virt-p2v. You can no longer use it from guestfish or other virt-* tools. The behaviour above is correct.
