clicking on "create a new Virtual machine" in virt-manager leads to an error
popup saying

"[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/run/vm-install/'"

Details:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 687, in
show_create
    create = vmmCreate(virtman=True,key=0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vminstall/gtk/interface.py", line 113,
in __init__
    vminstall.paths.load_kvm_paths()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vminstall/paths.py", line 54, in
load_kvm_paths
    os.makedirs(jobdir)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs
    mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/run/vm-install/'

The reason is simple: there is no such thing as a "/var/run/install" directory.
