I'm not sure where virtio-win-1.5.3-1 comes from, this might be the first time I see this specific version number. I could try aligning the spice-guest-tools version number on the virtio-win version used. IIRC I mentioned the various versions of drivers it contains in the release announcement, and it might install a text file with this information as well. You can also see a broken down version of the spice-guest-tools installer at http://spice-space.org/download/binaries/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-0.2-src/ As for the RHEV-toolsSetup, this is a Red Hat specific package, and its versioning seems aligned with Red Hat product versions (specifically RHEV 3.0), so I don't think it makes sense to align other versions numbers on that. But I totally understand how all of this can get confusing :( > > The biggest difference I see is in the vdagent and vdservice log > files.

Ah, thanks for noticing/reporting that. vdagent has always been compiled using Visual C++, but with this new version I decided to try to compile it with mingw as it recently gained support for that. The log timestamps probably got broken as a result, I'll look into that. > Like I said, I have many problems with the Windows 7 guest, but the > most annoying problem is that cut/paste between the host and guest > does not work reliably.

The only 2 components involved in cut&paste are vioserial and the agent. It might be worth trying to restart the agent when copy&paste stops working to see if that helps. Christophe
