1. not sure where you downloaded them from - they are not 
re-distributable in their binary form afair.

2. these are the guest tools, you would need the client tools as well, 
which in legacy mode require some proprietary 3rdparty software (hence 
it is legacy)

3. i recommend trying the new native mode (i.e, which spice client 
supports, open source based).
