@manilx Can you check if there's a Copy-XenVifSettings task in Task Scheduler and delete it if it exists report back? Normally it's supposed to self-destruct but maybe something went wrong there.

@dinhngtu Noting there:

@manilx What do you see when you run this command from PowerShell?

schtasks /query /tn Copy-XenVifSettings /hresult ; echo $LASTEXITCODE

@manilx Interesting... It's checking for "ERROR: The system cannot find the file specified. -2147024894", which is why it's failing. What if you specified the command this way, with a backslash?

schtasks /query /tn \Copy-XenVifSettings /hresult ; echo $LASTEXITCODE

@manilx Try installing the .msi from an elevated powershell prompt. That worked for one of our Windows 11 VMs.

[manilx]

@conitrade-as Yes, fixed. Thx!

The issue on this VM was we were installing as non-admin. All others were admin by default.

Good catch

Recent Windows patches also changed the exit code of schtasks.

A new package will be released to address this.

Hello all,

Version 9.1.146 Release of the Windows PV tools has been released.

Download the latest release here: https://github.com/xcp-ng/win-pv-drivers/releases

It will be integrated into the XCP-ng built-in tools ISO after a test period of 2 weeks.

This is a small revision to fix issues when installing on certain Windows installations. Only the installer and XenClean were changed; the binaries inside stay the same.

If you're already on 9.1.145, upgrading is optional.

Changes since 9.1.145

• Fixed: Fix issues when installing on certain Windows installations.
