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? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
We only officially support QXL on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Server 2008R2. That is why it only installed on these OSes.
Can you give any reference? I was under impression that we do support it on W2003
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 dnb
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

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

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.
