Actually I doubt about service installation at all....
what should it be its name in services list? I don't see anything that
could match

I also tried spicy.. but I don't see any network disk mapped.
If I run map-drive.bat (as admin) it creates the registry key but actually
the "net use" command fails:

C:\SPICE webdavd>net use * http://localhost:9843/
System error 67 has occurred.

The network name cannot be found.


C:\SPICE webdavd>REG ADD
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explore
r\MountPoints2\##localhost at 9843#DavWWWRoot" /v  "_LabelFromReg" /t REG_SZ
/d "Sp
ice client" /f
The operation completed successfully.

and with "netstat -an" I don't see the guest listening on port 9843 indeed:
this should confirm the service has not started at least if defined...

Could you tell me the command used inside the .msi file to create the
service, so that I can manually reproduce and see which kind of error I
receive?
