Bug 971141

*** Bug 968916 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Yan, 
The qemu-ga.exe file in the virtio-win iso can be installed on both 32bit and 64bit windows guest.

Just tried to install the qemu-ga Yan provided. But hit the following 

c:\qemu-ga>qemu-ga.exe --service install
failed to load COMRegister from qga-vss.dll: The specified procedure could not b
e found.


So, I removed the qga-vss.dll file and re-install again:

c:\qemu-ga>qemu-ga.exe --service install
failed to load qga-vss.dll: The specified module could not be found.
fsfreeze is disabled
Installation of VSS provider is skipped. fsfreeze will be disabled.
** (qemu-ga.exe:1252): DEBUG: service's cmdline: "c:\qemu-ga\qemu-ga.exe" -d
Service was installed successfully.

But failed to start the service:

c:\qemu-ga>
c:\qemu-ga>net start qemu-ga
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

Hi,

Are you running from elevated command line? Try to run cmd as Administrator. I think this is an issue (can be also for the first failure as well).

Also can you check that you can start the service from service manager? (Might depend on exact Windows OS, on the latest ones run services.msc).

Best regards,
Yan.

Yan,

I'm just running the command as Administrator and I re-test again with the older qemu-ga.exe extracted from qemu-kvm-389 build, succeed.  And tried to start the service from service manager with your qemu-ga build, same error pops up as "Access is denied".

Hi, Yan

Do you find this problem and the reason? Or there's something wrong with my steps?

Thanks,
Qunfang

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Hi, Yan

Please help provide an official build to QE asap as the status is already ON_QA. 


Thanks,
Qunfang

I will set the bug to VERIFIED first according to comment 36 as there's no test blocker or regression bug for windows virtagent. And for the two new bugs, they are deferred to 6.6 with a reasonable comment in those BZs. 

Hi, Vadim

Could you help add this bug to rhel6.5 virtio-win errata? 

Thanks,
Qunfang

The functionality is verified pass, however I will change the status back to ON_QA until it's confirmed that the virtio-win package is built and include it.

Maybe we need PM to help add rhel6.5.0+ and blocker+ flags?

Hello, PM

We need this bug in rhel6.5 and it's fixed already, could you help provide the "rhel-6.5.0+" and "blocker+" flags for us? 

Thanks,
Qunfang

Hi, Tom

As the two msi files have been integrated into virtio-win package, I would like to set this bug status to VERIFIED.
