Re: [ovirt-users] ovirt 4.05 windows balloon service installation wrong path

Hello team, FYI standard installation of Guest tool on Windows server O.S. is somehow flawed. It setups a windows service named “BalloonService” with path C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\w2k8R2\ amd64\blnsvr.exe Unfortunately, the real path created on filesystem is C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe (please note the missing “w” after \Baloon\ )

The easy workaround is to run this command on a “run as admin” cmd shell: sc config BalloonService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k8R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe" DisplayName= "Baloon Service Ovirt 4" start= auto I suggest to fix either the command that create path during installation or the one which setup the service cheers *Andrea Ghelardi* +39 050 2203 71 *| *www.iongroup.com *| **a.ghelardi(a)iontrading.com <a.ghelardi(a)iontrading.com&gt;* Via San Martino, 52 – 56125 Pisa - ITALY *This email and any attachments may contain information which is confidential and/or privileged.
