HELP: .NET 3.5 SP1 BSOD

Recommended Posts

Am trying to install .NET 3.5 SP1 on my Windows XP SP2 laptop.

 

Around 25% of installation progress I get blue-screen-of-death with message:

 

STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}

The Windows SubSystem system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000005 (0x7c91218e 0x0071efb0).

The system has been shut down.

This BSOD will occur with many modern usermode software, such as Media Player Classic HC or FileZilla (even if they work on lower versions such as Win2k). I thought it was specific to SP1, but apparently not. To me it sounds like a major bug in XP that has been since fixed in SP3. I once read it had to do with "alignment", but nothing concrete.

I have even set up a virtual machine with SP1 to test new recent programs before I run them (since reinstalling Windows is a major undertaking with many issues). Overall SP1 still has its uses with older games and very low spec machines.
