[PVE-User] Problem installing Qemu-guest-agent on Windows

[Gianni Milo]

Well, have you enabled the agent in the properties of the VM as described
in that guide? Without doing that, the device won't appear in Device
Manager ...

qm set VMID --agent 1

Also, you mentioned that you created the VM in VirtualBox. How did you
migrate it to PVE ? Did you remove the VirtualBox guest additions etc ? Is
there a possibility that the driver is already installed, hence no "PCI
controller" will appear in DM..
