I haven't looked to verify but the last time I looked the situation hadn't changed... and someone already pointed this out... but whoever maintains it didn't fix it.  They removed the library package from the website by accident thinking it was old or no longer needed... so so anyone who wants to install the Windows client can't.  Thanks free software! :)

Yeah, the packaging for the MS Windows version was horrible but I think that was because they want to cross compile it from Linux and use no proprietary bits in the process... so no fancy installer.

I think they are working on replacing the previous MS Windows client that is based on Crazy Larry's Toolkit (or something like that) and replacing it with a full-blown version of virt-manager for Windows along with virt-viewer and remote-viewer... which last time I checked where command line oriented clients.

It would be nice to hear what the plans are... AND to get the current situation fixed... but it is easy to complain from the audience. :)

TYL,
