This has possibilities. I just did yum install virt-v2v on a handy Fedora 14 VM here. The path is a little different:
[root@p2v32bit Converter]# [root@p2v32bit Converter]# pwd /usr/share/perl5/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter [root@p2v32bit Converter]# ls RedHat.pm Windows.pm [root@p2v32bit Converter]# Looking over Windows.pm, it looks like it spells out the registry keys nicely. Maybe I can put something together to put the files where they belong and insert those registry keys. Let me see what I can come up with and I'll post the results here. - Greg -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Booth [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2011 10:50 AM To: Greg Scott Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [fedora-virt] Restored Windows Server 2003 VM goes black On 06/10/11 16:10, Greg Scott wrote: > Thanks.

Have at look in /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter/Windows.pm on a machine with virt-v2v installed.
