I tried yesterday and it did not installed the qxl driver on my VMs 
running Windows Server 2008R2. It installed the spice-agent service, but 
it fails to start, I presume because the qxl driver wasn't installed.

And I could not find the qxl drivers on the archive, at 
"$_OUTDIR\win2k8r2\amd64\" or "$_OUTDIR\win2k8r2\x86\". It looks like 
they are included only for Windows 7 and XP.

PS: The latest RPM for RHEL6, virtio-win-1.1.16-0.el6.noarch.rpm, also 
doest not included the qxl drivers for Win 2008R2.
