How to install windows 7 on proxmox 2016...?

[zustudios]

I'm trying to install windows 7 on proxmox 4. I'm trying to use this guide:

. The guide seems to be outdated. I'm not able to install. I cant get passed the driver install. What am I doing wrong?

Hi!

You need select vioscsi directory (see your first picture) for install virtual scsi-controller driver.
The remaining drivers (like balloon and network) can be installed after the Windows installation.

Best regards,

Working here with latest VirtIO drivers ISO. Just select the viostor driver.

Thank you it worked.I had to use 32 bit for a 64 bit vm.

Now it's installed but no network. I tried: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Window...l_additional_VirtIO_drivers_on_running_System
but it said: The INF file you selected doesn't support this method of installation.

You can't install drivers this way.
You need to go to the device manager, select the unidentified NIC, right-click on it and choose "update driver software..." as shown below (mine is in french, sorry) :

Here is my tutorial where I describe P2V of a Windows Server (Google translate is your buddy) : http://www.docgreen.fr/2016/09/14/v...sique-windows-server-2008-r2-dans-proxmox-22/

[zustudios]
