Hi Gal,
Thank you so much for replying, can you please a steps to do that. Right
now what I am doing is:
1. Installed Windows 2016 using IDE interface, but performance is very
bad and it’ really hard to install any further .exe into it.
I never used the IDE interface so I can't say from personal experience, but
I don't think that should be the behavior, please open a bug on that so
that we can examin.
1.
2. Other option I see attaching the floppy drive when we use “Run
Once”, but problem is when pointing to floppy drive while loading drivers.
It says no drivers detected.
Using Run Once is the preferred option, see
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/...
Make sure that you attach the latest virtio-win vdf (the link I sent
earlier should be ok) and select the relevant drivers, if there is a
problem then please open a bug on virtio-win project and send me the url so
I will track it, thanks.
Please share let me know the best way to perform this action as need to
deliver the Ovirt infra to one of my customer and really stuck on this
driver installation.
Appreciate your quick response.!!

HI Vijay,
There a package on fedora:
virtio-win-0.1.173-2
which contains an MSI installer for the drivers and the ovirt agent (which
is disabled on a normal installation, so please enable it when you install).
This installer should replace the ovirt-wgt that we have currently on the
next versions,
and it is new, so please give us feedback once you used it.
P.S
the installer installs the drivers normally so if the regular drivers from
virtio-win fail to install, then using the installer will not change much
probably, and it means that you have a deeper problem.
In case the installation fails then please generate logs but running the
installer through cmd.exe "msiexec /i {installer} /l*v {path to log}" (
https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-log.html)
and open a bug/reply here and I will try and help
Thanks

Dear Team,
How can we install virtIO windows drivers to Windows 2016. As of now I
tried to attach floppy drive with virtio-win.vfd image but while installing
drivers didn’t get loaded.
Please guide or let me know the proper way to install drivers.
