Bug 847065

this might be because the activex is installed under UAC, not as admin. We may want to install it differently when installer is run as admin, but I am afriad this may create further issues (two versions installed)..

lowering severity, this is minor annoyance only with Win7 as admin. Spice client should be used as regular user.

There is no other way how to get USBClerk installed on the client right now - only running IE under admin privileges.
If we have another way how to deploy USBClerk on clients - USBClerk standalone msi somehow distibuted then It may be minor annoyance otherwise I do not agree.

As part of virt-viewer installation, the usbclerk installer, usbclerk-setup.exe, is copied into virt-viewer directory. Administrators can run it to install usbclerk.

copied additional scenario from the bug that was closed as the dup of this one:

Scenario B: Legacy Client was installed prior to the test:
1. On a Windows client, that used RHEVM 3.0 w/spicec, bring up IE as admin
2. Navigate to the RHEVM User Portal and try to launch a console to a VM

I just went through this again, on my Windows 7 VM with IE9 there are delay waits in seeing the bottom of the screen "Install for all users" after you click the console, so need to be patient.  Also it took several iterations of going through this for it to work. I think the third time my spice console came up for me as a non admin user, for a customer with Windows based desktops using corporate IE this is rather painful.  I don't really think corporate environments have the luxury of just install firefox to get around this pain

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEV 3.1
rhevm-spice-client-x64-cab-3.1-8.el6.noarch
Windows 7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
From a fresh Windows 7 install with IE9, and using the webadmin portal:
- Create a 'Standard User'
- Login as the user, access the webadmin portal
- Start a VM with a SPICE console attached
- Attempt to access SPICE console
- Bar at bottom of screen "This website wants to install the following add-on: 'SpiceX.cab' from 'Red Hat, Inc.'."  - Select down arrow, and "Install for All Users".
- Webadmin refreshes
- Attempt to access SPICE console again
- Password prompt for 'admin' user
- usbclerk setup starts, click through and install -> NOTHING
- Attempt to access SPICE console AGAIN
- Bar at bottom of screen "This website wants to install the following add-on: 'SpiceX.cab' from 'Red Hat, Inc.'."  - Select down arrow, and "Install for All Users".   AGAIN
- Webadmin refreshes
- Attempt to access SPICE console again
- Password prompt for 'admin' user
- usbclerk setup starts, click through and install, except it removes the previously installed usbclerk...
- No SPICE console still...

So;

- Attempt to access SPICE console another time
- Bar at bottom of screen "This website wants to install the following add-on: 'SpiceX.cab' from 'Red Hat, Inc.'." - Select normal 'Install' option
- Get "Internet Explorer Add-on Installer - Security Warning
- Click [Install]
- Notice error message:
VirtViewer 0.5.3 Setup
----------------------
Note: usbclerk is not installed. Admin permissions are required
                                                     [   OK   ]

- Click [OK]
- Remote Viewer/SPICE Console appears

- Restart IE
- Attempt SPICE console again
- It works
  
Actual results:
As described above, frustration, plugin not really installed for all users as well.

Expected results:

- Install for all users to install for all users out of the box and work with how IE9 expects plugins that use this functionality to work.
- Experience to better match the expectations set by the documentation such as 
 https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.1/html/User_Portal_Guide/User_Guide-Getting_Started-Install_SPICE_Plugin.html

Able to reproduced on SF13.

mingw-virt-viewer will no longer ship the activex, moving to appropriate component

This bug is "fixed" by the new rhevm-spice-client 3.3-2 build.
BUT if one first run-as admin, and later run as a regular user, the first time (as admin) it works the second time (as user) it does not, as spice-x is installed for all and virt-viewer is installed only for admin users.

Can we ask users to not run Internet-Explorer as Administrator ?
That does not make sense since virt-viewer in the cab is installed per-user.
If per-machine install is required the (new) msi should be used.

A similar problem may happen when "install for all users" is used.

Verified with RHEV-M 3.3 (is26)
