I've noticed that converting the latest Windows 11 trial image via virt-v2v does not install the guest agent any more on first boot. I have let the machine settle for ~10 minutes to ensure it's not just because I'm too impatient. I can see C:\qemu-ga-x86-64.msi, and also a bunch of files in "C:\Program Files\Guestfs\Firstboot\" and .\Scripts, so the files are definitely copied onto the VM image, just not executed for some reason. The vmware image was downloaded from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/. The issue should be 100% reproducible (at least for me). I recall that an older image from two, three weeks ago downloaded from the same location did not have this issue. There guest agent was installed and working on the first boot. Unfortunately I overwrote the image so I cannot verify this. I have attached the debug output of the virt-v2v run of the latest image where this issue is apparent (guest agent not being installed). Please let me know if there's anything else I can check, or if you need any further info.
