I tested the Upgrade VirtIO on Windows 2019 test VM works well, maybe you should upgrade your host to the latest version?
Hello Moayad!
We are on the latest PVE 7.2 and are currently troubled by the same VirtIO-Install issues - although only on older VMs running Windows Server 2012R2. Our Windows Server 2019-Guests were able to install 0.2.221 without problems.
We tried VirtIO versions backwards: 0.1.221 - 0.1.217 - 0.1.215 all failed. Last successful install is 0.1.208, which was installed when we were still running an older PVE Version (we don't have an exact track of this).
Finding this thread, I thought there may be a connection. If this should be a separate thread, though, please let me know.
P.S.: MSI Installer log excerpt:

This allowed for uninstallation of 0.1.208 when it wouldn't uninstall through normal means.

Unsure what you mean about updating driver with MS tools.
