Qubes trying to get windows VM

[Beartooth23]

Qubes OS version:

QubesOS version R3.2

Affected TemplateVMs:

---

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

qvm-start win7 --cdrom=personal:/home/user/downloads/en_windows_7_AIO_sp1_x64_86_dvd.iso

-->Loading the VM (type = HVM)...
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/qvm-start", line 136, in  <module>
      main()
   File "/usr/bin/qvm-start", line 120, in main
      xid = vm.start(verbose=options.verbose, preparing_dvm=options.preparing_dvm, start_guid=not options.tray else
      None)
   File "/usr/li64/python2.7/site-packages/qubes/modules/01QubesHVm.py", line 335, in start
      return super(QubesHVm, self).start(*args, **kwargs)
   File "/usr/li64/python2.7/site-packages/qubes/modules/000QubesVm.py", line1979, in start
      self.libvirt_domain.createWithFlags(libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED)
   File "/usr/li64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py",line 1059, in createWithFlags
         if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreateWithFlags() failed', dom=self)
libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain 'win7'

Expected behavior:

HVM loads ISO for install

Actual behavior:

"Libvirt.error" libxenlight failed to create new domain"

General notes:

I know this looks like other problems and I have checked the error logs. I've looked at all of the other problems I've tried all the solutions of them and none of them work for me.

@Beartooth23

Try copying the ISO into dom0 and starting with a full path to ISO "locally"

@Beartooth23 does it still happen?
Are you sure the ISO path is correct? In case of invalid path you'll get this error.
Check also /var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-drivers.log.

I have almost the same problem even with Dom0:

[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-start win7new --custom-config=/tmp/win7new.conf --cdrom=dom0:/home/user/win7.iso
--> Loading the VM (type = HVM)...
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise e
libvirt.libvirtError: operation failed: domain 'win7new' already exists with uuid 727dd680-3dd3-4891-8997-2100da932efc

But when i try this command without:
--custom-config=/tmp/win7new.conf

installation process in stuck because of xen instead of cirrus

What I must try?
