[Xen-users] GPLPV Uninstall Issues

[Fred Wittekind <rom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're in the process of doing a V2V conversion, and need to be able to 
get GPLPV drivers uninstalled from Windows 2008R2 VMs.  Old hypervisor 
is CentOS-5, with Redhat's modified version of Xen, new hypervisor is 
VMWare.
Installed GPLPV driver is 0.11.0.238, uninstall post V2V results in the 
uninstaller hanging, and a entry for "GPL PV Drivers for Windows 
0.11.0.238" being stuck in the installed programs list.  I am able to 
successfully uninstall entries with names like "Windows Driver Package - 
Xen GPL PV*".
We've tried uninstall in safe mode + msiserver service, normal boot.  
Tried with and without NOGPLPV load option.  Tried with and without 
turning off Xen Shutdown monitor service.  Tried with and without 
installing VMWare tools.
Also tried upgrading to 0.11.0.372, and that ended up with two entries 
in installed programs list for "GPL PV Drivers for Windows", and a BSOD 
on boot post-V2V.
I'm looking for any suggestions on how to properly get the GPLPV drivers 
fully removed (other than rebuilding the VMs).
Thanks in advance
Fred Wittekind
