Hi David,

I didn't know there was a way to force the installation. I know that the
devs fixed the Windows 8 "Unsupported Windows Version" issue in the
source, and I'm chomping at the bit waiting for the new binary release. ;)

Is it a command line argument to the exe? Or is there a way to get the
qxl driver separately from the exe. Pardon my ignorance; I'm somewhat
new to Spice.

Thanks!

Regards

Erik
