Xen users - Sep 2010 - Removed GPLPV, can''t install Novell''s Virtual Machine Driver Pack

I''ve been struggling with this for quite some time. I have some older
VMs that had 0.9.11 GPLPV drivers installed. I''ve tried removing them
manually and I''ve tried the uninstall batch file. 

They do "appear" to be removed, but I''ve never been able to
get Novell''s
Virtual Machine Driver Pack to install on these VMs. I always get an
error when it tries to install the xenbus:

"Setup was unable to install the Xenbus driver and has terminated the
installation."

I''ve even tried capturing the install with ProcessMonitor but was not
able to determine where it''s failing. I really don''t want to
re-install
these VMs as I have a few of them. 

Any ideas on where the conflict may be? The Driver pack installs fine on
any VM I have that has not had GPLPV first. 

Thanks,
James

I opened a ticket with Novell but not sure how far I''ll get.
Here''s the
part of the log where it fails. Maybe this helps?

INFO:   Installing devices with Id "root\xenbus" using INF
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\xenbus_3CE744D7DCE655B553EEF7C47F4A1E5912FC7D99\xenbus.inf".

ERROR:  PnP Install failed. (Error code 0xE0000101: The required section was not

Any help is appreciated!!!!

Thanks,

Sorry for the noise. I figured it out by comparing the registry with a
working machine. There was a class missing from registry, most likely
from my manual un-installation of the old drivers. I copied it from a
working VM and the driver pack installed now. 

Thanks,
James
