It does Cancel, just takes a bit of time. Found out that running
the installer with /l* Logfile.txt did the trick and saw this:

.. snip..
DIFXAPP: INFO:   No matching devices found in INF 
"C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\xenpci.inf_x86_neutral_232bc49777803725\xenpci.inf"
 on the Machine.
DIFXAPP: INFO:   No drivers installed. No devices found that match driver(s) 
contained in 
'C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\xenpci.inf_x86_neutral_232bc49777803725\xenpci.inf'.
DIFXAPP: INFO:   RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW  (0xE000020B)
DIFXAPP: INFO: The device(s) for which the driver is being installed has not 
been plugged into the computer.
DIFXAPP: INFO:   ENTER:  DriverPackageGetPathW
DIFXAPP: INFO:   RETURN: DriverPackageGetPathW  (0x7A)
DIFXAPP: INFO:   ENTER:  DriverPackageGetPathW
DIFXAPP: INFO:   RETURN: DriverPackageGetPathW  (0x0)
DIFXAPP: INFO: driver store entry for 'C:\Program Files\Xen PV 
Drivers\drivers\xenpci\xenpci.inf' is

DIFXAPP: INFO: The component Id '{D6BB9B5F-61F9-4B6E-8FAD-289706F5EBEB}' is now

DIFXAPP: INFO: A reboot is not needed to install the component

DIFXAPP: RETURN: InstallDriverPackages() 0 (0x0)
Action 1:11:12: WaitForDevices. 

And sure enough I did not have a Xen PCI platform device.
The reason being that I had this in my guest configuration file:

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   Enable/disable xen platform PCI device, default=1 (enabled)
xen_platform_pci=0

Changing it to 1 made the installer work. After two reboots
my Windows 7 guest is running with the PV drivers.
