Windows 2016 install in XenServer 7.1 asks for disk drivers

Question

Fresh XenServer 7.1 installation, trying to install Windows 2016 Evaluation. Few seconds after pressing the Install button, I'm being asked for a disk device driver from Windows, which I don't know where to get.

The VM is being created with the Windows 2016 server template, but I tried also with Windows 10 and Windows 2012R2 ones, same identical result.

Anyone knows where can I find those drivers, or if there's a working install procedure for Windows 2016 in XenServer?

odd... using the *en-US* version of the ISO instead of the *it-IT* went through! I'm installing! Still puzzled what's wrong with the Italian version... — Maxxer, May 03 '17 at 18:31
You should post this as an answer for the next guy who runs into this! — I say Reinstate Monica, May 03 '17 at 23:18
Yours is a real answer. If someone comes along with a more detailed explanation, so be it; but yours is helpful and worth posting in either case. — I say Reinstate Monica, May 04 '17 at 04:36

I solved myself, the culprit ended up being the localized Italian installation ISO of Windows 2016. Trying with the en-US version the installation went straight.
