[virt-tools-list] trying virt-Manager 0.8.2 but getting error messgaes

[Sharadha Prabhakar (3P)]

I installed virtInst 0.500.1 but the errors remain.
I'm actually trying to create new VM through virt-Manager.
Can I do that with version 0.5.4 itself? Because with 0.5.4
If I click the new button it say's 'Creating new guest VMs not
yet support'. 
Then I tried running from the command line the following
>>LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 virt-manager --connect="XenAPI://..." --show-domain-creator --no-fork
I thought --show-domain-creator would enable the graphical console for
Domain creation. Hope I'm right about it.
Now I get the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 310, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 297, in main
    show_engine(engine, options.show, options.uri, options.uuid)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 171, in show_engine
    engine.show_create(uri)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 314, in show_create
    create = vmmCreate(self.get_config(), con)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 111, in __init__
    self.caps = self.connection.get_capabilities()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 303, in get_capabilities
    return virtinst.CapabilitiesParser.parse(self.vmm.getCapabilities())
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getCapabilities'

Right now my libvirt call to getCapabilities just returns NULL. Could that be the problem?
Is virt Manager expecting libvirt to return a meaningful XML string?

Shouldn't virt-manager just display an error instead of going nuclear?
