           Summary: Win32 Spice client won't start
           Product: Spice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: client
        AssignedTo: spice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: gator_ml at yahoo.de


I am trying to run the Win32 spice client on Windows XP SP3. In some cases it
works, but normally the program terminates immediately without any indication
what might go wrong. The only hint about what is happening are these entries in
spicec.log:

1310140678 INFO [1676:1648] Platform::set_clipboard_owner: new clipboard owner:
none
1310140678 INFO [1676:1648] PlatformWinProc: Unsupported clipboard format
1310140678 ERROR [1676:1648] WinMain: unhandle exception: set clipboard viewer
failed

The 1st 2 lines are always logged, even if the program works.

Just copying the files from spice-space.org to the windows directory never
worked. On 1 machine, I can run the spice client when I install it with this
installation program:
http://www.foss-cloud.org/download/spice-client-0.6.3-setup-2.exe
but on all other machines this does not work either.

Fascinatingly, the machines I tried it on have identical hardware and almost
(some minor variations which programs are installed) identical software
(freshly installed with a software management system).
