windows 2008 R2(64bit) cannot find suitabe drivers.

[Reventon1993]

I used the windows 2008 R2 ISO to install my vm and the disk used virtio technology。I downloaded the virtio-win-0.1.185.iso and attached a cdrom included it to my vm。

when installing the os, windows finds no suitabe driver file in the cdrom.

cannot find driver:

Try pointing to the exact location. For example /amd64/2k8R2/ ,or viostor/2k8/amd64/ (use the correct driver name that you need, instead of viostor)

Which driver are you trying to install viostor or vioscsi ?

[Reventon1993]

I don't have 185 on my testing machine at the moment, but 190 looks quite fine: [ vrozenfe@panda virtio-win-0.1.190]$ ls -la vioscsi/2k8R2/amd64/ total 761 dr-xr-xr-x 2 vrozenfe vrozenfe 2048 Mar 10 11:28 . dr-xr-xr-x 3 vrozenfe vrozenfe 2048 Mar 10 11:27 .. -r-xr-xr-x 10 vrozenfe vrozenfe 10196 Mar 10 11:27 vioscsi.cat -r-xr-xr-x 10 vrozenfe vrozenfe 3013 Mar 10 11:27 vioscsi.inf -r-xr-xr-x 6 vrozenfe vrozenfe 700416 Mar 10 11:27 vioscsi.pdb -r-xr-xr-x 10 vrozenfe vrozenfe 61160 Mar 10 11:27 vioscsi.sys

Most likely cause: https://github.com/virtio-win/virtio-win-pkg-scripts/issues/43 Download the older package, virtio-win-0.1.141 worked for me.
