Created attachment 1589315 [details] Error message Description of problem: When running the guest tool installer in a Windows 10 with EFI, the installer fails with the error: "Installation of RHEV-Tools on the Guest should be performed only when running on RHEL 6 type Host (RHEV-H or RHEL). Installation aborted." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhv-guest-tools-iso-4.3-8.el7ev.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Windows 10 x64 on a EFI VM 2. Mount RHV-toolsSetup_4.3_8.iso 3. Run RHEV-toolsSetup.exe Actual results: "Installation of RHEV-Tools on the Guest should be performed only when running on RHEL 6 type Host (RHEV-H or RHEL). Installation aborted." Expected results: Drivers and guest agent installed Additional info: This is probably because the installer is checking for the "Seabios" string in the BIOS model, but this is a EFI system.
UEFI is tech preview in 4.3, please use msi installers to install the qemu guest agent and drivers individually
Added dependency to 1745324 since on 4.4 we will have a new installer that will fix that issue

The new installer has been added to virtio-win for RHEL 8.1.1 through bug #1745298. I'm moving this to ON_QA for verifying the new installer on Q35/EFI guests running Windows 10. Please note that despite the component for this bug is rhv-guest-tools-iso, the component won't be shipped in RHV 4.4 and Virtio-Win ISO from RHEL 8.1.1 must be used instead. If it would be considered better for tracking, I'm ok with having this bug closed with resolution cantfix and having a new one marked as test only for virtio-win installer
Verified with virtio-win-1.9.10.iso
