I'm working on setting up Win7 on QEMU on my Ubuntu MATE 16.04 machine. (I have a legal DVD.) I've followed the instructions at:

https://github.com/hpaluch/hpaluch.github.io/wiki/Install-Windows7-on-KVM-Qemu

I got through all the setup stuff and clicked on Begin installation. The Win7 install started fine, but stopped with this error message:

Error continue install: Cannot access storage file '/var/lib/libvirt/images/win7-80GB.qcow2' (as uid:64055, gid:133): No such file or directory

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 2339, in _check_install_status
    virtinst_guest.continue_install()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 524, in continue_install
    start_xml, final_xml, is_initial, False)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 1035, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: Cannot access storage file '/var/lib/libvirt/images/win7-80GB.qcow2' (as uid:64055, gid:133): No such file or directory

/var/lib/libvirt/images exists but is empty. Am I supposed to create win7-80GB.qcow2 and run the install again? And should it be a file or a directory?

Has anyone run into this before? It's mostly Greek to me.

Thanks for any advice.
