Where are "msi" files inside new "virtio-win.iso" package? How do I install the virtio driver without the msi file?

Issue

  • Following Red Hat doc talks about installing "virtio" drivers from MSI package, but there are no MSI packages available inside the ISO that Red Hat ship with new virtio package "virtio-win-1.1.16-0.el6.noarch.rpm". Why this is missing and how do I install the drivers without MSI file?
