Did you reboot after enabling testsigning? If so then you have hit a
known bug that James has already fixed, see
http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/win-pvdrivers.hg?rev/2fd1373b5794 the
installer is looking for "/testsigning" but the value is
"testsigning", you can work around it by changing this key so that is
has a leading / :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Control\SystemStartOptions

As soon as you have got past that stage of the installer you can
change the key back, I did exactly that because I have experienced
occasional crashes when installing gplpv and I am not sure if setting
the value to /testsigning would actually enable testsigning, so if the
system did crash it might then reboot without testsigning enabled
which will surely fail if the drivers have been installed!
