spin of from 885200 Mass windows deployment of spice client via msi MSI installers are a great way for AD Administrators to deploy items like the SPICE/Desktop Viewer application to all the relevant users/systems en mass +MSI is the recommended practice using Windows Installer mechanism.
qa_ack+ There will be two separate .msi installers: one for mingw-remote-viewer and other for usbclerk (handled at bug 984137).
virt-viewer version scheme doesn't match very well with windows minor update mechanism. Currently, we will need to bump 0.5.6 -> 0.5.7 to perform update. We may want to switch v-v version scheme. See also this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2013-July/msg00138.html
though the current MSI installs fine, upgrade is currently broken. This can be verified by taking candidate build version. After upgrade, some files will be missing such as remote-viewer.exe! I am moving back this bug to assign, I think I know what's going on, and I will submit a new build asap.,
In case someone read this later, I think the reason is that we have multiple file in the same components (multiple files share the same generated component UUID), and we get hit by this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1602831/wix-one-file-per-component-or-several-files-per-component
