How are you booting the guest (e.g. manually executing QEMU, or manually 
created libvirt XML or virt-manager+libvirt)?

I had a very similar symptom on my guest, in the end it was the guest's 
machine flag "vmport=off" that virt-manager had added that resulted in the 
hang/BSOD upon installation of the driver.

After attempting a driver install, does the guest boot correctly but hang 
when attempting to show the login screen (i.e. when the 3D driver initializes)?
