Thank-you for the help. I didn't want to use the iso image as the source of the installation as it's unwieldy.
As regards port 5901, that probably arose because port 5900 was in use by a previous run of virt-install. These installations were dying because I had omitted the --os-type=windows option, leading the HVM to be created without the APIC device. I eventually gave up trying to persuade the vnc server embedded in xend to respond to the vnc viewer called by virt-install. Instead, I used vncviewer 127.0.0.1, as you indicated in your last post and was able to continue with the Windows HVM installation.
