      Hello, there is the next Release Candidate version:

      πŸŽ† https://github.com/xcp-ng/win-pv-drivers/releases/tag/v8.2.2-beta πŸŽ†
      πŸŽ† https://github.com/xcp-ng/win-pv-drivers/releases/tag/v8.2.2.200-RC1 πŸŽ†

      8.2.2.200-RC1:

      • Vates cert gets now correctly installed, so the PV-Drivers can silently install!

      8.2.2-beta:

      "Highlight": It is built using Visual Studio Community 2017 (instead of Visual Studio 2012)

      • because of a bug in the Windows Driver Kit 10.0.17763.0 I lost some weeks searching for the solution or workaround.
      • Found it today: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/386142/windows-sdk-100177630-pragma-push-pop-mismatch-in.html πŸ”₯

        Could building them with VS 2017 cause incompatibility issues with older versions of Windows, or is there no risk of that at all?

          @stormi I dont think so. Its build to fit at least Windows 7 drivers.

            I found maybe the main issue with the PV Driver installer, here you can follow: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/181

            It's related to Certificate Issues πŸ˜•

                      Can the drivers be used on VMs running on a XCP-ng 7 host?

                            I never had a problem with borzel's drivers with French locale. But yes, it's works perfectly πŸ˜‰

                              So to be sure: you extracted the zip, run "Setup.exe", and you went from a "clean VM" to a VM with both PV drivers AND management agent, right?

                                Exactly.

                                • Installation of a fresh Windows Server 2016/2019
                                • Load the ISO provided by borzel
                                • Tools installation with the Setup.exe
                                • Reboot, that's it. Simple as VMware Tools πŸ˜‰

                                  Great news then! @borzel is there anything left before including this in 8.0 ISO?

                                      Tested on Windows 10 1903 (French locale as usual), seems good too and easier than ever.
                                      I let you know if something bad happens.

                                        So I haven't been able to install these drivers on Win 10 Pro 64-bit build 1903.
                                        Running the setup.exe file, it goes through the motions until I get an error box that says "Windows Management Agent failed to install".

                                        I then re-run setup and choose "Repair" and it goes through the motions and finally tells me at the end it was installed. However, upon reboot, I'm greeted with a BSOD and the stop code is "Inaccessible Boot Device.".

                                        This is a brand new Win 10 install. I made sure to grab system updates first. I have to revert the snapshot to get the system back.

                                          What's the OS language? (yeah, it might be important in Windows world…)

                                            Its English. Just plain ol'e English USA x64 Win 10 Pro.
