Hi Matthias (and anyone else interested),
Just added a win32 installation package to the website, for libvirt 0.8.6.
http://libvirt.org/sources/win32_experimental/Libvirt-0.8.6-0.exe
This has the libcurl stuff in it you put together, so (in theory) it should connect to remote vSphere/ESX servers.
Do you (or anyone) have time to try it out against vSphere/ESX/similar?
Going to update the Windows page on the website pointing to it, when we know it's working ok. :)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
I tested it and it works with ESX and QEMU over TLS. Here are some comments: 1) I wonder why you never pushed this patch: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-November/msg00761.html 2) libcurl license is missing in the installer. 3) There is no readme.txt about where to put TLS certs to make qemu+tls:// work. 4) The installer remembers the install location. Therefore, it suggest to install in the same location as the previous installer for libvirt 0.8.5. But it doesn't check if a previous version is already installed and doesn't suggest to uninstall it first. This results in libvirt 0.8.6 being installed over 0.8.5. The installer overwrites existing files without notice. Matthias
