ISO of virtio-win is found extracted, how to find a mountable one?

Help

I installed virtio-win and found it out as extracted.

How can I find a mountable ISO file of it so that I can use it in virt-manager?

What do you mean by “found it out as extracted”? On my Arch install, the virtio-win ISO was added to the default storage pool, located here: /var/lib/libvirt/images; not sure what the NixOS equivalent is.

Have you actually searched your system for this file?

I am an Arch veteran and used to that.

I mean, as a directory.

OK, the directory is found. But no ISO? That’s very strange. Maybe it’s buried somewhere in the /nix/store.

UPDATE: I checked out the package list - there’s no ISO, only the drivers. I would download the latest stable ISO from here: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.240-1/virtio-win.iso

I did: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.262-2/virtio-win.iso

Frustrating. This should be addressed.
