HyperV Integration Services: Fatal error during installation

Problem:
Installing Integration Services on HyperV I got the following problem:
"An error has occured: Fatal error during installation."

Solution:
Delete (or rename) two file on the guest machine
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\wdf01000.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\wdfldr.sys
Reboot and reinstall the integration services.

Thanks. That worked great, even though I didn't reboot before I installed. Do you know WHY it worked? (I haven't done any research on that yet. Thought I would ask you first.)

Worked for me too when suffering this same error on a XP image running inside Hyper-V.

Some Googling suggests those two .SYS files have something to do with keyboard/mouse functionality and possibly other low-level driver services.
