I tested with German Windows 2000 Server , Sp4 included. I had the same 
problem.
No xen- drivers in /winnt/system32, only xenroll.dll.
In c:\winnt\system32\DRVSTORE are some subdirectories like 
xenenum_A0D29A..... and the xen*.inf and xen*.sys.
I changed INF-Files as requested and tried it again. Same as above.
I deleted above files and subdirectories and reboot the HVM, installed 
again.
I remembered an errormessage like "Missing mscore*.dll" during 
installation of shutdownmonitor, so  I installed dotnet-framework vers 2.
After reboot I installed pv-drivers again. .. reboot..
Now the service "Xen Shutdown Monitor Service" is installed, but nothing 
else.
Thanks
Georg
