Xen users - Oct 2009 - fail to install xen gplpv drivers for windows

I have created 3 windows HVMs and tried to install GplPv binary distribution and
build the latest source.

However, they did not work. I think I carefully followed steps guided in
XenWindowsGplPv wiki page.

It seems most users did not have problems to install GplPv drivers so I guess
DomUs did not satisfy some of requirements

to install GplPv drivers. I know that it is hard to suggest opinions with
limited information. but I came right into the dead end so

any proposals are very welcome. 

Thank you so much in advance. 

 

Windows Version (DomU)

-       Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x86 with sp2

-       Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x86 with sp2

Xen Version: xen 3.4.1

Windows Driver Framework SDK: 7600.16385.0

Dom0 OS: CentOS 5.3

DomU vCPU: 2

DomU Memory: 2048MB

 

Error messages when I built the latest source

 

 

Error Message when I installed binary release

I haven''t yet built with the Windows 7 SDK. I guess it''s
something to do with that.

Can you turn on logging in the installer and send me the output? Run the
installer with /? as the option and it should tell you how.

Are you running a non-English language install of Windows? That''s the
only thing I can think that might cause problems.

I attached logfile created by installer. I hope this is what you ask. Please let
me know anything else you need to help me.

I notice in the logfiles that "DIFXAPP: ERROR - You need to use the 64-bit
version of DIFXAPP.DLL to install drivers on this machine.". Is your
machine a 64 bit machine? If it is, you need the installer with amd64 in the
name, eg "gplpv_chk_wlh_AMD64_0.10.0.130.msi". I think maybe you are
using one with x86 in the filename. If you are using an AMD64 installer, please
tell me the exact filename and I''ll try and find out what went wrong.
