The current all-in-one installer containing a buggy driver is not a blocker
for adding the needed API to libosinfo, even though I agree this is
suboptimal. Reviewing your libosinfo patches seems more urgent than
updating this installer though...

The directory layout in this ISO is a bit messy indeed, I'm using
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~teuf/spice-nsis/tree/tools/gen-upstream-virtio-iso.py
which grabs the virtio-win ISO and tries to organize the files in a more
understandable layout.
The installer is then generated using
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~teuf/spice-nsis/tree/spice-guest-tools.nsis
but this needs more hand holding (a tree with the needed files in the right
place must be created before running it through make-nsis).
