Hello,

 

Question for you: in Device Manager are there any devise showing up as “unknown”, as in lacking a driver?

Hi Andrea

 

Triple Check

 

When the path is wrong we get this type of message:

 

"Windows could not start the Balloon Service on Local Computer.

 

Error2: The system cannot find the file specified."

 

But in this case, we get:

 

"The OVirt Guest Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use in use by other services or programs."

 

¿ Maybe a oVirt bug ?

Hello Juliàn,

Have you double checked on your guest agent that OVirtGuestService.exe is really found in

C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\OVirtGuestService.exe

? The configured service path must exactly match the real one.

Hi Andrea

I tried with this solution:

https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg37420.html

And I input this orders:

Balloon Service oVirt 3.6:

sc config BalloonService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k12R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe" DisplayName= "Balloon Service oVirt 3.6" start= auto

SPICE:

sc config vdservice binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\64\vdservice.exe" DisplayName= "SPICE VDAgent" start= auto

oVirt Service:

sc config OVirtGuestService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\OVirtGuestService.exe" DisplayName= "OVirt Guest Service" start= auto

This solution corrects the BalloonService error, but oVirt Service doesn't work yet:

"The OVirt Guest Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use in use by other services or programs."

Hello Julian

I posted a similar case last year. If you search the group you will find my post with the solution embedded.

You will need to edit the service changing the path of the executable

Cheers
