Better ask at the qemu *user* list when you have problems with the qemu guest agent. BTW, 0xc000007b means STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT, which indicates that either your file is not a valid PE executable or that it's a 32 bit app and tried to load a 64 bit DLL, but that's just a wild guess. You could use Dependency Walker to track this down. Claudio -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
