I can't imagine many (if any) Microsoft Windows types going through the hoo=
ps required to build their own agent from source. A mechanism is going to b=
e required to create convenience binaries for them.

Just installing Cygwin is a pain.

In ACS we can use command line way of installing agent on Hyper-V.

I have already written code for creating installer using Wix.

For both one has to follow steps at  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/di=
splay/CLOUDSTACK/Creating+Hyperv+Agent+Installer.

In the same way that the KVM agent is packaged for distribution, an install=
er is required for the Hyper-V agent.

The open-source candidate for creating this installer is WiX (http://en.wik=
ipedia.org/wiki/WiX)

While open-source, it's not clear that WiX works or runs in an environment =
other than Windows.

Does this mean that the installer should be in a separate repo?

I agree that we need a distro for the agent.

Based on what KVM does, what is the pattern for distributing non-Java agent=
s?

Happy New Year Everyone,

Is there somewhere I can download the hyper-v cloudagent (AgentShell.exe) r=
ather than needing to build a windows development environment to build it. =
 + what's the longer term plan? I can't see Microsoft house sysadmins being=
 willing to build their own agents in order to use CloudStack...
