The clue is usually in the error message. when i did --sysconfdir="C:\pki\" I expected that i have keep my certificates under this directory(correct me if i'm wrong). But it was still taking the certificates from "Z:\usr\i686-pc-mingw\sys-confic\mingw\etc\pki" (in Windows). -------------------------- Regarding virsh: virsh on linux mahine: URI tried from a remote linux mahine: virsh -c qemu+tcp://FC11-KVM/session virsh -c qemu://FC11-KVM/session virsh -c qemu+ssh://FC11-KVM/session virsh -c qemu+unix://FC11-KVM/session all of these work fine virsh on windows: on windows the supported URIs are: virsh.exe -c qemu+tcp://FC11-KVM/session virsh.exe -c qemu://FC11-KVM/session URI "qemu+tcp://FC11-KVM/session" works fine. It gets connected and i can call all the functions. I have also written a small code on C#.net and i use this URI (qemu+tcp://FC11-KVM/session) to connect to libvirt and call the functions and it works fine without any problem. Now the problem again comes with URI : virsh.exe -c qemu://FC11-KVM/session when i rum me code using the above URI this is what the error message that it gives: Cannot access CA certificate '/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem' : errno=2 <div class="gmail_quote">So basically i need to change the the path it is looking in.....

The clue is usually in the error message. In any case, you almost certainly can't just write C:\pki\ because \ is an escape character. Maybe you can double them, or use forward slashes instead. <div class="im"> > LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virt-viewer -c qemu://FC11-KVM/session 2 </div>It's really not helpful to use virt-viewer to test. Test using a simple tool like virsh. Get that working first.
