I tested this on a Windows 2012 R2 (x64) DataCenter VM, newly built, on
oVirt 4.0.5.
It suffers from the same bug that’s been present since at least oVirt 3.6:
The Balloon service is setup with the wrong path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest
Tools\drivers\Balloon\w2k12R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe"
The correct path being:
C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest
Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k12R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe"
Note the small typo: “w2k12R2” when the actual files are under “2k12R2”.
The fix is much the same as before:
sc config BalloonService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest
Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k12R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe" DisplayName= "Balloon Service"
start= auto
How is it that this bug persists? Is it being actively tracked? I found
reference to someone possibly having “a look” but no follow-up:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2016-June/073690.html
I did note one thing that appears to be fixed: the QEMU agent service is
properly setup and runs (it had to be manually started in previous versions.)
The oVirt and Spice services start up as expected.
Thanks,
Daniel

I guess it should work - briefly tested it on a 4.0 and didn't notice
problems. Please file bugs if you find them. Thanks!
