<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Hello team,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">FYI standard installation of Guest tool on Windows server O.S. is somehow flawed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It setups a windows service named “BalloonService” with path
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\w2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, the real path created on filesystem is<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(please note the missing “w” after \Baloon\ )<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The easy workaround is to run this command on a “run as admin” cmd shell:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">sc config BalloonService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe" DisplayName= "Baloon Service Ovirt 4" start= auto<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I suggest to fix either the command that create path during installation or the one which setup the service<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
