This section is what is causing the error. With windows guests, the
tools try to do some funky stuff so that windows can still have access
to the install cd for the second stage of the install (after the first
reboot.) It probably shouldn't be erroring like that so there is a bug
somewhere, just not sure where in the chain it is.

In the interim, you can get your guest to work with access to your iso
image with:

- virsh dumpxml <xmdomain> > somefile.xml
- replace <source file=''/> with <source file='/path/to/win.iso'/> in
the above block in somefile.xml
- virsh undefine <xmdomain>
- virsh define somefile.xml

If you don't need access to the iso in the guest, you can go to the
details section of the domain in virt-manager and remove hdc, which will
get rid of the block of xml without needing to undefine/define.
