        After you hit Finish, it will take you to the screen where you can edit the VM properties.

        And your only choice, afaik, is to cancel the install or begin the install.

          Yes, I read the OP. Make your changes, apply them, and then hit cancel installation. It does not destroy the VM. It leaves it sitting there, ready for you to boot to whatever installation media you choose.

            @dafyre That doesn't work, at least not in the the virt-manager version I have - 1.4.3. The VM is never created if you cancel the installation. Even if you do some changes and apply them and then cancel.

              Uck, that's the same version I'm using. Thanks for the bad news.

                Not sure what version you are on, in v1.5.1, canceling the install = destroys the vm.

                  Yeah, I just went back and did that myself a few minutes ago and the VM is gone... WTH did I do last time...

                      Well, I did find one way to do it... Just not seamless.

                      Just go a head and tell it to begin the installation, and the Force Power Off the VM once it starts... but that makes more work for later (you have to go and set it to boot from the ISO image, and then pick your iso image again if you do it this way).

                        Yep, that's kinda what I do right now.
                        There has to be a cleaner/proper way?

                          Any objections with using virt-install and virsh destroy VMName?

                          I do something similar with Hyper-V.

                            Using cockpit-machines, you can new VM and select the option to immediately start VM.

                            This is cockpit version 176.

                                  I don't get what the problem is.
                                  You create the VM, then you configure it after.

                                      Are you talking about creating a VM without clicking this button:

                                      Who cares... just stop it right away and continue with configuration.

                                      Or use virt-install command to set it up.

                                        Looking for a "cleaner" method kinda like in Hyper-V

                                        Or use virt-install command to set it up.

                                        The title of the thread is "virt-manager" not "virt-install"!

                                          So what's your goal with wanting to create a VM without starting it, to create some VMs you aren't going to use?

                                          You can fully configure it in that window above. I've never created a VM in virt-manager that I didn't want turned on after finished configuring.

                                            Correct, you as a Hyper-V user know we do it all the time in Hyper-V manager.
