This is part of my autounattend
file that I specified which drivers must be installed.

Hi @MohammadrezaNasrabadi ,
In the latest packages we removed the support of older OSes. The oldest OS that is supported is Windows 8 (Windows Server 2012).

Hi @YanVugenfirer
Thanks for your response.
Could you please tell me which version of older virtio supports Windows Server 2008 R2 drivers?
@vrozenfe can you please write what's the lates version with Windows Server 2008 R2 drivers ?
E:\Balloon\2k8r2\amd64\ from "latest" (https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.215-2/) should work. The balloon driver there is from build 174 cross-signed with RH SHA1 certificate issued by DigiCert
Do you have any problems installing the balloon driver manually on WS2008R2 VM?
Thanks, Vadim.
Hi dear @vrozenfe thanks for sharing the link
As you said, I tried to install VirtIO Balloonnig driver
whether with automatically with autounattend file or manually based on the version you mentioned, but with both approaches it doesn't work.
After many trying since yesterday, when I tried to install manually, there are warnings that I faced them:
Despite of your comment that this driver has issued by certificate, I guess that for this specific driver, there is not any digital signing or certificate for validation.
@MohammadrezaNasrabadi No worries. Do you have the balloon device attached to your VM? Can you please share the qemu command line and the qemu version?
Thanks, Vadim.

Thanks, I need to check it then. bugcheck code 7E usually happens when installing Win8 drivers on Win7/WS2008R2 platforms. https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/issues/61
Best, Vadim.
