It might do something. I copied the 0.8.4 xen*.sys files over to c:
\windows\system32\drivers, then edited the 0.8.7 install.bat to add /F to 
dpinst and ran it. I ended up with a system that would not boot, even 
w/o /gplpv. When I did get a BSOD, it was 0x7E, xenenum.sys. I finally got it 
working with losetup/kpartx/mount -o force to copy over the 0.8.4 files. 
Apparently the /F option had copied over 0.8.7 xenenum and xennet on top of 
the 0.8.4 files before the system crashed.
