To expound: The spice console used in both the case of RHEV or ovirt:
--> http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/RHEV/ <http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/RHEV/> --> SRPMS/rhevm-spice-client-3.0-21.el6.src.rpm We rebuild the above rpm and extract the browser plugins (CABs) and place them into: "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/userportal.war/org.ovirt.engine.ui.u serportal.UserPortal" For the ActiveX plugins (MSI) For now we extract and place them into "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/resources/jboss/ROOT.war" We then modify the ovirt engine_index.html with links to install them. Note if you do this however, due to some mime type idiosyncrasies with Internet Explorer and JBOSS you will have to add: <mime-mapping> <extension>msi</extension> <mime-type>application/msi</mime-type> </mime-mapping> to: "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/resources/jboss/ROOT.war/WEB-INF/web.xml" Regards, Chris Brown GE Healthcare Technologies Compute Systems Architect From: users-boun...@ovirt.org [mailto:users-boun...@ovirt.org] On Behalf Of Loomis, Jason (GE Healthcare) Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2012 10:27 AM To: sawan k r; Marian Krcmarik Cc: spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org; us...@ovirt.org Subject: Re: [Users] [Spice-devel] spice client support for windows We were able to download the source rpm and build it, then extract the msi files to manually install spice for windows.
