[ovirt-users] documentation change suggestion / question
Googling "ovirt windows agent" this is the first link that pops up: http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/internal/guest-agent/guest-agent-for-windows/ This doc seems non-intuitive and over complicated Specifically, the RedHat documentation that is 4 links below is simple as "install this package and mount the iso": https://community.redhat.com/blog/2015/05/how-to-install-and-use-ovirts-windows-guest-tools/ The former was updated as early as June of this year 1.) The RedHat document worked for me so I dont think oVirt 4.x cant use the same 2.) Why have separate areas of documentation that are so different from each other? This has caused me issues in the past whereby I found RH docs that were much more clear and concise 3.) Is there anyone who might want to merge RH docs with oVirt docs where the RH docs are better than oVirt? Thanks so much for providing such a great product! I just feel sometimes the docs are a little more developer-centric whereas the RedHat docs are more easily readable -- IMPORTANT! This message has been scanned for viruses and phishing links.

RHV uses InstallShield to create the installer, and RHV uses NSIS. The installers are completely unrelated.
