Hi Vadim, I see that the bug status has changed to 'MODIFIED', but the corresponding package cannot be found. Can you provide an rpm package? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately the virtio-win installer build failed due to the build
VM problems https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=39383502
I will update the bug with the relevant build information as soon as the problem
has been resolved.

Best regards,
Vadim.
Comment 21 Vadim Rozenfeld 2021-09-01 01:23:43 UTC

http://brew-task-repos.usersys.redhat.com/repos/official/virtio-win/1.9.18/1.el8/noarch/

thanks,
Vadim.

Tested this case with virtio-win-1.9.18.iso and it works as expected.
When I wanted to remove "virtio-win-driver-installer", I received a warning message.
Comment 26 menli@redhat.com 2021-09-01 07:41:38 UTC 
Test installer related cases with virtio-win-1.9.18-1.el8.iso, found gagent version is not right, expected is 102.7.0 but got 102.0.3.

Thanks,
let me check it and build a new rpm if needed.
Comment 28 leidwang@redhat.com 2021-09-01 09:16:04 UTC 
No warning message when upgrade installer from previous, we need that warning for upgrade as well.

Oh, no. It will not work for the prior installers that were built before 
8.5.0 because the old installers don't have this feature.

Hi Vadim,
Now this warning message can only be seen through msi, not through exe, but customer uses exe. 
Do you have any comments about that?
Comment 36 leidwang@redhat.com 2021-09-17 07:36:23 UTC 
Based on comment35,filed a new bz2005220,and set this bz to VERIFIED.Thanks!
