        @dbeato glad that it works now... I actually don't know an automated way to find all the little things that can cause the drivers to fail. It's mostly detective work 😕

          Yeah, that is why I am reporting here 🙂 One thing I would say though, it doesn't seem to do the paste from the host as XenServer used to. Not sure if it is supposed to be that way.

                Good, that's what I need to review again as this morning did not want to work.

                  I've installed this on Win server 2019, PV Drivers install, but XCP-ng center reports the management agent is not installed AND under the performance it says to install XCP-ng tools to view memory data.

                    @conradical Did you reboot? Do you see the XCP-ng devices in Device Manager?

                      Yes, I did reboot. I don't see XCP-ng, but see
                      XenServer PV Netowrk Device
                      XenSRC PV scsi disk device
                      and XenServer PV Bus's

                      How that I look closer i see Xenserver Agent and XenServer PV Driver monitor. -- I'm wondering if these grabbed from windows update automatically post XCP-ng tools install.

                          so I did a fresh 2019 install, using the server 2016 template since 2019 template isn't available yet, post install i was prompted with this screenshot:
                          0_1543512092072_PV-Restart.png

                          This is also the recently re-released Win Server 2019 disk.

                            Apparently be default the template has "Windows Update tools" enabled. Should this not pull the drivers for XCP-ng?

                              @conradical we don't have xcp-ng drivers on Windows Update. Maybe later....

                                I thought I read where you were working on that process and got it done and were registering the device IDs. I guess i read wrong 🙂

                                  @conradical device id's are "registered" in the xen project and in "the pci database" ™ ... but they are for future use

                                          Thanks for the XCP-ng tools.

                                          I tried to install the XCP-ng Tools on a new Windows Server 2019 vm (german locale), XCP-ng 7.5.
                                          I used the Windows Server 2016 default Template.

                                          Installed Net Framework 3.5 beforehand, launched the setup.exe as administrator.
                                          The installation finishes with the management agenet could not be started message.

                                          I restarted the vm, no new Xen Devices are shown in device management.
                                          Only both of these services were installed.
                                          892c2ea7-6c57-415c-abe2-b1785cd0142d-image.png

                                          I ran

                                          C:\Program Files\XCP-ng\XenTools\InstallAgent.exe DEFAULT
                                          

                                          this installed the XCP-ng Interface Package.

                                          af6c61f8-f38e-48be-a422-47aced5a5dad-image.png

                                          I got no popup that asked to reboot the vm, but restarted anyways.

                                          Services after reboot:
                                          d6a7e406-8686-423b-99b7-ed983b609971-image.png

                                          Device manager shows two new unknown XENBUS devices. Under system devices XCP-ng Interface and XCP-ng PV Bus (0002) are now listed.
                                          Network adapter, drives etc. are same as before the driver installation.
                                          515e2f4b-99b8-417d-ae8e-2e241a869f76-image.png
                                          e548cbee-1488-4a39-b881-04d1c1439629-image.png

                                          Xen Orchestra displays that Xen Tools are not detected, but i can see Memory Usage etc.

                                            @RKO1337 you have to install the drivers then manually ... point the driver install dialog from windows to c:\programe files\xcp-ng\drivers (don't forget to tell him to search also in subfolders)
