Qubes 3.2 can't install Windows 7: libvirt.libvirtError

[Daniil .Travnikov]

I have almost the problem when i am trying to install Windows .ISO like standalone machine:

[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-start win7new --custom-config=/tmp/win7new.conf --cdrom=dom0:/home/user/win7.iso
--> Loading the VM (type = HVM)...
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise e
libvirt.libvirtError: operation failed: domain 'win7new' already exists with uuid 727dd680-3dd3-4891-8997-2100da932efc

But when i try this command without:
--custom-config=/tmp/win7new.conf

Installation process in stuck because of xen instead of cirrus (of course in /tmp/win7new.conf I put cirrus, but in some reason with this config i got this error)

What I must try?

This error usually means the VM is already running. If you haven't
already, try rebooting Qubes?

Not sure why you aren't getting the same error here without the
--custom-config.
