I'm not very familiar with how libguestfs is packaged for Arch Linux,
except that I helped them a bit on extending febootstrap for Arch.  It
could be that virt-inspector is not packaged at all, or that it's in a
different package (in Fedora we split libguestfs over about a dozen
packages).  You'd have to ask the Arch maintainers -- could be Nikos
Skalkotos, who is a subscriber to this list.

Do you mean that you used the inspection feature of virt-manager
successfully?

We can inspect any Windows guest since Windows XP, 32 or 64 bit.  The
only reason we don't support earlier than XP is no one has tried it.
