Re: Installing WinPV drivers on Windows 2019

[Dustin Marquess <dmarquess@xxxxxxxxx>]

What I did with 9.0.0 was to switch just the virtual CD/DVD drive over
to it first (eg, only change hdd -> vxdd or whatever).  Let it boot
and find it.  Then I shut it down and THEN switched the HDD over.

That way it seems like it causes Windows to "register" the driver
completely, and then it's happy/fine.
