Hi, 

What I gather is you are trying to install a full virt windows guest
using virt-manager, but the option to install from a physical cdrom
is greyed out for some reason. If this worked with the previous
version of virt-manager, please file a bug. Please include
~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log in the bug report.

We'll need some extra info for that second issue. Where exactly is it
failing? Try running virt-manager from the console with 
'virt-manager --no-fork' and see if it dumps an error message when
you try the install.

Thanks,
Cole
