Unfortunately the user didn't stay in the channel for longer than 5

Libguestfs supports Windows guests.
On RHEL, you will need to support the libguestfs-winsupport package.
This package is now included in base RHEL starting with RHEL 7.2 IIRC.
Previously it was in a separate channel called V2VWIN.
libguestfs-winsupport in RHEL has some intentional limitations

Libguestfs probably cannot be compiled on Windows, although certainly
the library side could be compiled with not too much effort. (See
