HTTP installs are for RHEL guests (or others that support that type of
install). For Windows guests, mount the ISO image in the guest's
configuration. The guest should boot to the ISO when you first launch
it (assuming your guests disk image doesn't have a bootable
partition).

This link may help get you started. It's all command line, but it
accurate for what you want to do.

I tend to prefer using the Virtual Machine Manager for my Xen configs,
but it's really just a matter of preference. :-)
