Thank you for your email. I had tried compiling myself following the instructions at http://libvirt.org/windows.html (Matthias Bolte's msys_setup) but it failed on 2 different machines with an error. I get the below error when I try to run compile_libxml2.sh as per instructions https://github.com/photron/msys_setup/blob/master/readme_libvirt.txt Last few lines before the error is : make[5]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python' make[4]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python' Making install in tests make[4]: Entering directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python/tests' make[5]: Entering directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python/tests' make[5]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. test -z "/share/doc/libxml2-python-2.9.0/examples" || /bin/mkdir -p "/share/doc/ libxml2-python-2.9.0/examples" /bin/install -c -m 644 build.py attribs.py tst.py tstxpath.py xpathext.py push. py pushSAX.py pushSAXhtml.py error.py serialize.py validate.py tstURI.py cutnpas te.py xpathret.py xpath.py outbuf.py inbuf.py resolver.py regexp.py reader.py re ader2.py reader3.py reader4.py reader5.py reader6.py reader7.py reader8.py reade rnext.py walker.py nsdel.py ctxterror.py readererr.py relaxng.py schema.py threa d2.py sync.py tstLastError.py indexes.py dtdvalid.py tstmem.py '/share/doc/libxm l2-python-2.9.0/examples' /bin/install -c -m 644 validDTD.py validSchemas.py validRNG.py compareNodes.py xpathns.py xpathleak.py tst.xml valid.xml invalid.xml test.dtd '/share/doc/libxm l2-python-2.9.0/examples' make[5]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python/tests' make[4]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python/tests' make[3]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python' make[2]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0/python' make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.0-0' + cp /python/Lib/site-packages/libxml2mod.dll /python/DLLs/libxml2mod.pyd cp: cannot stat `/python/Lib/site-packages/libxml2mod.dll': No such file or directory Do you know how this error could be resolved? Or are there a different set of instructions I could follow to create the a 64 bit libvirt dll (I am not a C/C++ guy and so have to ask for the instructions). I had posted another question to this forum earlier today(04/30/2013) with the subject "Java client error on Windows 7 64 bit for Libvirt on KVM" on this error. Thank you once again for your help. - George
