You are right! Excuse me, I have to be more precise.
What happens is that, after installing gplpv_Vista2008x64_0.11.0.308.msi
the system needs a reboot and during the reboot, I can see the blue
screen of death.

By any chance, does your domU have a cdrom drive assigned, and is that drive empty?  That bluescreens Windows 7 domUs reliably for me when running the latest version of GPLPV at meadowcourt.org.

Anyhow, as I was saying before the erroneous send, check your domU config and see if you have an empty cdrom drive assigned.  If so, remove it and see if your issues with the GPLPV drivers disappear (if that's indeed your problem, James replied to my previous thread with links to some updated versions that didn't have the issue).

Regards,
Mark

 

 
Unfortunately, I am not able to read what is written on it, because it
is very fast.
Then, the system reboots and the windows recovery starts, bringing the
system at its previous state.

No, I'm sorry, I made a mistake copying and pasting the file name.
The file I installed is called gplpv_Vista2008x64_0.11.0.308.msi.
So no debug version has been installed.
