There's not really enough information here to help.  What you
should do is enable debugging:

https://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#debugging-libguestfs

That will produce a lot of output which can help us to narrow down the
problem.

Note that sometimes hivex will throw a real error because of some real
problem with the Windows guest.

Need a bit more information here as well.  Is there a small reproducer
of this problem?
