Program virtio-win-guest-tools.exe fails to install into the guest about virtio-win-pkg-scripts HOT 12 CLOSED

@Folaht which Windows 11 release is it?

from virtio-win-pkg-scripts.

You mean wether it's Home or Pro?
It's Pro. I updated the question.

from virtio-win-pkg-scripts.

I mean, is it 22H2, 23H3, or something else?

from virtio-win-pkg-scripts.

21H2, looks like I need to update this thing.

What is your system's Recovery partition size?

from virtio-win-pkg-scripts.

I'm closing this issue.
For whatever reason I can't get Windows to even update, so I will reinstall windows 11.
I've been able save all significant files by downloading an openssh server and turning that on.

I wanted to see if I am seeing the same issue as you saw, but the paste expired.

@AlexFolland
can you see errors 0x80070643 and 0x80070422 in the msi installation log file?

I can't copy-paste the text because the guest tools installation failed, but I can get a screenshot from the host. Here's what I see:

from virtio-win-pkg-scripts.

I did originally have a restore point failure log entry, but I solved that by configuring and enabling restore points in Windows.

from virtio-win-pkg-scripts.

Does it work now? If not you might need to increase the system's Recovery partition size.

from virtio-win-pkg-scripts.

Creating restore points works, as can be seen in the log screenshot I pasted, so that's not the cause of the problem.
