The error resulted in a crash of the installer. Trying to reinstall the package 
crashed the entire DomU (due to xenpci.sys unload), however the remaining 
drivers (including xenvbd) could be installed through device manager without 
problems.

On a side note, I have used some time to move the relevant drivers (pci, net, 
usb, vbd_storport) and all programs to VS2013. I have succeeded in compiling in 
win7 mode and they install correctly on my windows 8.1 domU. Compiling for win8 
and win8.1 result in an error for the storport build, with the following error:

xenvbd.c(198): error C2039: 'Reserved' : is not a member of 
'_PORT_CONFIGURATION_INFORMATION'

This is due to an if statement in storport.h, removing 'Reserved' for newer 
versions of windows. However I do not know how to fix this.
I you are interested in my project files for VS2013, I would be willing to 
clean them up and integrate them in your directory structure.

Best regards Kristian
