SRPMS/rhevm-spice-client-3.0-21.el6.src.rpm
We rebuild the above rpm =

into:
"/usr/share/ovirt-engin=

For the ActiveX plugins =
(MSI)
For now we extract and =
place them into =
"/usr/share/ovirt-engine/resources/jboss/ROOT.war"
We then modify the ovirt =
engine_index.html with links to install them.
Note if you do this =
however, due to some mime type idiosyncrasies with Internet Explorer and =
JBOSS you will have to add:
<mime-mapping>

<extension>msi</extension>
=
<mime-type>application/msi</mime-type>
to:
"/usr/share/ovirt-engin=

So there are =
two ways to connect from windows -
ovirt portals - does require activex plugin (not =
built)
spice - (not =
tried/tested ?) as spice is cross platform (windows and =
linux)
So I should just go ahead pull the code, =
