Why pack windows binaries in a rpm that can't be unpacked on windows?
Thanks, but I'll try replicating the binaries and service entries from a win 7 
installation.

I believe I have been labouring under the misapprehension that the qxl driver 
was necessary for the vdagent and all its goodies (display resizing, hot keys 
etc) to work, but that is not the case?

It will need the virtio driver though won't it?

I'll rebundle vdagent for win8/2012 and see how it goes.

Thanks,
