Description Gal Zaidman 2019-08-25 08:54:32 UTC
At the current state the project is an NSIS based installer which installs the virtio-win drivers and relevant agents, the project is completely different from the D/S guest tools.

On 4.4 we intend to move away from that split and use the new virtio-win Wix toolset based installer which will be provided inside the virtio-win iso.

Hi Sandro and Gal,


How's this edit of what you wrote for the Release Note?

oVirt 4.4 replaces the ovirt-guest-tools a with a new WiX-based installer, included in Virtio-Win. You can download the ISO file containing the Windows guest drivers, agents and installers from https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/latest-virtio/
