libguestfs should detect \winnt as the %systemroot%. You can check by doing:
virt-inspector2 Guest | grep -i systemroot
The challenge here is I never get to look at the resulting disk image because virt-p2v-server gets rid of it right after it finishes building it. If it's happy with /winnt then maybe it's looking for some other file - I wonder what it wants? If the log would tell us specifically what it's missing, we could fix it on the source physical machine and try again. - Greg -----Original Message----- From: Richard W.M.

I may have an idea why this one blew up. This source machine apparently does not have a c:\windows directory. Instead, Windows is loaded into c:\Winnt.
Looks like the p2v error was "guestfsd: error: windows: no file or directory found with this name" I wonder if it was looking for c:\Windows and instead found c:\Winnt?
Which version of virt-v2v and libguestfs is this? libguestfs should detect \winnt as the %systemroot%.
