After the virtio-win 0.1.196 update, note these two changes:

  • ISO image is copied at /var/lib/libvirt/images

  • The Windows XP floppies are not distributed anymore as upstream remove the support

@TingPing: Thanks for the feedback. I will remove the install file for next virtio-win release.

You should probably remove the install file; It does nothing of use and it just adds extra work on users to audit each update. Surely they know how to use their package manager to see what files a package contains.

From virtion-win 0.1.113 Windows 10 drivers were put in .vfd images. It has been tested and it works fine with Windows 10.
