Description of problem: I installed the virt-viewer-x64-7.0.msi Windows Installer Database after verifying the supplied signature. It was a bit surprising to get no desktop or start menu entry, but after consulting the log file, I noticed where it had been installed and headed there. Starting any of the following executables gave me an error that libdl.dll could not be found on my system. I searched the whole C: drive for it and came up empty as well. * virsh.exe * virt-viewer.exe The following program failed an assertion and showed a WER dialog: * windows-cmdline-wrapper.exe (windows-cmd-wrapper.c:63) The following other programs also complained about missing libraries: * orc-bugreport.exe -> liborc-test-0.4-0.dll (file not found on C:) * pango-view.exe -> libharfbuzz-0.dll (file not found on C:) Furthermore * gspawn-win64-helper.exe showed a WER dialog * gspawn-win64-helper-console.exe showed a WER dialog (failed assertion in gspawn-win32-helper.c:208) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.0, I'd guess?! How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install on a fully patched Windows 7 x64 Ultimate 2. Attempt to run any of the programs 3. Observe symptoms Actual results: Errors as detailed in the description above. Expected results: Running programs :) Additional info: Ask me! At this point I am not sure what more information might be relevant. remote-viewer.exe did not cause an issue, so I am hoping that's the component I am looking for (the viewer for remotely running KVM guests).
Yep, remote-viewer.exe was the component I was after and it works like a charm through an SSH tunnel. So the issue is a non-issue for me, but I hope it will help you to improve the software.
I am also having this issue. Windows 7, virt-viewer version 7.0-256.
The msitools package is shipping outdated / broken content causing the generated installers to be broken.
Fixed the msitools data upstream, so next virt-viewer windows builds should address the problems on this bug https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/msitools/commit/db240b28808247efa92a0c240a737c18d300fdde
The new 8.0 release should address all missing DLLs.
