Description lcy8686 2016-11-03 08:11:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
I can  install RHEV-Spice.msi on virtual machine windows sever 2003 (R2)SP2, QXL works well.But install RHEV-guest-tools.iso on the same OS, QXL will not be installed  defaultly.I found OSbehavior.ini, which shows that RHEV-Spice.msi only installed defaultly on XP_32， W7_32，W7_64，2008R2_64.

Why does QXL not being installed defaultly on windows server 2003(R2)SP2, compatibility or any other reasons?

We only officially support QXL on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Server 2008R2.

That is why it only installed on these OSes.
Comment 2 Michal Skrivanek 2016-11-04 06:06:46 UTC 
Can you give any reference? I was under impression that we do support it on W2003
Comment 3 David Blechter 2016-11-08 12:43:55 UTC 
What spice team has to do with it? According to the RHEVM doc none of the window severs has the spice support. See table 1.2 in the doc below https://access.redhat.com/webassets/avalon/d/Red_Hat_Virtualization-4.0-Virtual_Machine_Management_Guide-en-US/Red_Hat_Virtualization-4.0-Virtual_Machine_Management_Guide-en-US.pdf

That is about GSS support. We traditionally ship and allow using it on other Windows server versions. Still the question from comment #2 should be answered

The BZ, comments #1 and #2 are about "missing" QXL drivers, and not about GSS.

And, btw, table 1.2 is exactly about GSS support:  Yes for GSS support, but "No" for SPICE support for ALL Window Servers.

Thank you for your answer. QXL works well on windows sever 2003 (R2)SP2, I just wonder why QXL not installed defaultly in RHEV-Guest-tools.iso for this OS as it works fine.
