I see this as an unfortunate side-effect, not as a bonus. I don't think we have a way to express that this agent is nice to have when using spice, and that it needs vioserial. > > Unfortunately we wont be able to actually use this driver in Windows 7 > installer script as: > > * 64-bit (the most commonly used version AFAIK) Windows 7 simply refuses > to install unsigned drivers. > * I failed to find any way to tell windows 7 to ignore unsigned status > of the drivers. I think we should still have a way for libosinfo user to have this binary run at the end of the install process even though this means having to click through a few dialogs. For what it's worth, I would have preferred this series to first add support for post-install drivers while ignoring driver signature, and then adding the signature stuff on top of it. Christophe
