RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

I think this bug should be moved to virtio-win, or who ever created that driver disk first (I am guessing Windows Guest tools). Afaik, the Spice team doesn't test the qxl driver installation from the Windows wizard.
How is the guest configured btw, it has a QXL device?
The workaround is to re-try the driver installation (from the same screen), which then usually succeeds.
Not sure if Virtio-Win team is the right address, as my guess it's something to do with the .inf file of the QXL driver.

Ah this indeed worked for me. For what it's worth, when trying this, I first got an error message about missing wdi.dll needed by the driver.
I tested with virtio-win-1.6.8-4.el6

The program can't start because wdi.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
Pressing "ok" and then "next" retries the install which work this time.
