UEFI is tech preview in 4.3, please use msi installers to install the qemu guest agent and drivers individually Added dependency to 1745324 since on 4.4 we will have a new installer that will fix that issue sync2jira sync2jira The new installer has been added to virtio-win for RHEL 8.1.1 through bug #1745298. I'm moving this to ON_QA for verifying the new installer on Q35/EFI guests running Windows 10. Please note that despite the component for this bug is rhv-guest-tools-iso, the component won't be shipped in RHV 4.4 and Virtio-Win ISO from RHEL 8.1.1 must be used instead. If it would be considered better for tracking, I'm ok with having this bug closed with resolution cantfix and having a new one marked as test only for virtio-win installer Verified with virtio-win-1.9.10.iso Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Created attachment 1589315 [details] Error message Description of problem: When running the guest tool installer in a Windows 10 with EFI, the installer fails with the error: "Installation of RHEV-Tools on the Guest should be performed only when running on RHEL 6 type Host (RHEV-H or RHEL). Installation aborted." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhv-guest-tools-iso-4.3-8.el7ev.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Windows 10 x64 on a EFI VM 2. Mount RHV-toolsSetup_4.3_8.iso 3. Run RHEV-toolsSetup.exe Actual results: "Installation of RHEV-Tools on the Guest should be performed only when running on RHEL 6 type Host (RHEV-H or RHEL). Installation aborted." Expected results: Drivers and guest agent installed Additional info: This is probably because the installer is checking for the "Seabios" string in the BIOS model, but this is a EFI system.
