Description of problem: User portal offers 32 bit spiceX.cab, even if the IE 10 binary is actually 64bit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhevm-3.1.0-14.el6ev.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 0. remove any virt-viewers/usbclerks you might have installed 1. Connect to User portal with 64 bit IE 10 2. Try connecting to a machine Actual results: You will be offered a 32 bit spiceX.cab instead of 64, thus even virt-viewer and usbclerk will be 32 bit, which is not always desired (even though it might work) Expected results: 64 bit package should be installed
If you require usbclerk then no. The biggest issue is that the 32 bit cab can't be used to install the proper version of usbclerk. So usbredirection wouldn't work. However this problem is mitigated by the fact, that I can't find a straightforward way how to run IE10 with elevated priviliges (only by win+x, and through cmd) -> usbclerk won't be installed anyway -> I'd say that the preferred way of installation (with usbclerk) through cab is just extremely unintuitive.
Increasing priority and severity as microsoft released IE 10 for windows 7. That means that this bug concerns Windows 7 clients as well, and effectively makes usb redirection on 64 bit clients unusable when installed from user portal.

As soon as the #918656 will be fixed, the 32bit CAB will contain both 32 and 64 bit usbclerks and install the correct one which will solve this issue.
