<p dir="ltr">I also am running 2008 R2, and the guest agent is working fine. I just mounted the new pre-release tools iso and ran the installer. I did have to change the service to start automatically but filed a bug on that.</p>

<div class="gmail_quot<blockquote class=" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hello Everyone,<br><br></div>I am having difficulties
getting the oVirt Windows Guest Agent to work with Windows Server 2008
R2 SP1. We are currently running oVirt 3.4.2. I have used the
instructions from <a href="http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_Guest_Agent_For_Windows" target="_blank">http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_Guest_Agent_For_Windows</a>. As a side note I do have it working on Windows Server 2012 R2. <br>
<ul><li>I have installed the Virtio serial drivers from the virtio-win-0.1-81.iso</li><li>For troubleshooting purposes I later tried the drivers from the virtio-win-0.1-74.iso<br></li><li>Installed python 2.7.3, Python for Windows extensions, py2exe<br>
</li><li>Compiled and copied the two exe files to C:\Program Files\Guest Agents\oVirt Guest Agent\<br></li><li>The two files sha1 hash is:<br>OVirtGuestService.exe<br>A5F7FD0A15076437D174D3EF33FE95E42059FF0F<br><br>w9xpopen.exe<br>
B4D4623E5522390AEF6F113B5BB6FA8F1CBDC66C<br><br></li><li>Removed all except the top three # symbols from the ovirt-guest-agent.ini file and then copied it to the directory stated above</li><li>The sha1 hash for this file is:<br>
ovirt-guest-agent.ini<br>3ED609F101D44F52A68969DAD8D6F5F294FA733A<br><br></li><li>Installed the service. It shows up in services.msc.</li><li>Configure the service to auto start.</li><li>Try
to start the service. This is where the problem exist. When I try to
start the service I get an error. The error code in Event Viewer within
Windows is Event 10.</li>
</ul></div>Under the general tab is states "The description for Event ID
10 from source OVirtGuestService cannot be found. Either the component
that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the
installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on
the local computer."<br>
<br></div>I have tried to remove the service and re-install with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks!</div><div><br></div>
