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

Seems that the 9.1.146 version still reports 9.1.145-77 to XO. It is listed as the correct version in "Installed programs" within the guest (Windows server 2025).
-
@probain Yes, that's expected as there were only changes in the installer and XenClean/XenBootFix, the drivers and guest agent binaries included in 9.1.145 and 9.1.146 are the exact same. As a result, the version information in the guest agent (which does the reporting) was not updated.

Just wanted to clarify something.
Prior to installing xcpng-winpv-9.1.100.0-Release-x64.zip, I ran Invoke-XenClean.ps1 that came with the package.
Is is still true that, in order to install (upgrade to) xcpng-winpv-9.1.145.0-Release-x64, I have to run XenClean.exe again and then run the new installer?
Its just a lot of reboots, resetting static ip addresses etc.
-
@archw XenClean is not needed when upgrading; it's only needed when switching tools vendor, or when switching from the old XCP-ng 8.2 tools.
The XCP-ng 9.1 tools installer will block installation and indicate an error whenever XenClean is needed.

You rock - thank you! -

Hello all,
XenClean/XenBootFix 9.1.152 have been released.
This release fixes VSA-2026-012 (DLL sideloading vulnerability in XenClean and XenBootFix).
If your VM is running 9.1.146, you don't need to update. You just need to replace any XenClean and XenBootFix files you downloaded.
The
package\XenCleanandpackage\XenBootFixdirectories contain fixed versions of the aforementioned tools.package\XenTools-x64.msihas not changed from version 9.1.146, and is only provided as a convenience. The installation MSI does not include the fixed XenBootFix.You must use the one from
package\XenBootFixor download the tool directly from GitHub!The next release of the XCP-ng Windows Guest Tools will contain a fixed version of XenBootFix.
