If they're separate, then we need to make sure the tools continue working, after any update of libvirt without changing paths manually. IMHO, rather than just distributing a libvirt installer, we should distribute a 'virt tools' installer on virt-tools.org which has a complete bundle of everything that has been ported to Win32, libvirt core, language bindings and apps. The installer would of course allow you to pick & choose which bits to install. Regards, Daniel -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
