http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager--devel?cs=43d82ba67ffa

And will submit updates to current Fedora releases too.

I tried virt-install and got as far as the following:

What is the virtual CD image, CD device or install location? /media/WXPVOL_EN/SETUP.EXE
 

Starting install...
libvir: QEMU error :

Domain installation may not have been
 successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain
 by running 'virsh start VirtualXP'; otherwise, please
 restart your installation.

Any suggestions?
