Qubes Windows Tools Uninstallable

[e6lk7dqzm83p]

Hi,

Neither of these following commands work (am currently on the R4.1 Beta):

sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-windows-tools
sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing qubes-windows-tools

I get the following output:

No Match for argument qubes-windows-tools
Nothing to download
Fetching updates failed with code 1; press Enter to exit

This precludes the excellent tool for managing windows by @ElliotKillick from working.

@andrewdavidwong, I don't know if this is maybe an R4.1 Beta issue?

I don't know the answer, but you might want to have a look at these:

https://qubes-os.discourse.group/t/windows-support-in-qubes/4288/
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1861
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3585
QubesOS/qubes-issues#6289

Hi,

I don't think those are the issues...dom0 seem to be unable to find the repository to install the files (I think). If the repo is still up, I don't see why dom0 shouldn't be able to find it (which may be a Qubes R4.1 Beta issue?); if it's not up, I'll close this and ask @ElliotKillick to update qvm-create-windows-qube.

I should note that previously I had success deploying the qvm-create-windows-qube tool ( https://github.com/elliotkillick/qvm-create-windows-qube )---which is dependent on Qubes Windows Tools---subsequent to those issues (except 6289).

Per the above, QWT for 4.1 does not yet exist, so closing for now.

Hi,

Is there any plan to support QWT for Qubes 4.1 (which is currently in Beta)?

Thanks!

On re-read, are you asking if QWT will be supported for 4.1?

Hi,

I kind of got QWT installed via https://github.com/tabit-pro/qubes-windows-tools-cross; however nothing works (moving files to/from VMs, copy and past to/from VMs, attaching devices)
