I have tried what someone else had suggested about copying the disks and trying to install from those.
I have 33 GB free space on C drive and 2 GB RAM. I have NEVER had the BSOD on my computer. I have gone through uninstalling what did get on and then try again. This has happened 3 times in a row - exactly the same. I put in the second disk and about 5 or so minutes into the install, I get the BSOD. I have been trying to install the CS4 Design Premium upgrade. I don't deny that such BSOD problems are a royal pain in the butt, but there is nothing that Adobe can do about them given that the software causing them is neither distributed nor controlled by Adobe.

In any case, I will reiterate on behalf of Adobe that such BSODs are not caused by any Adobe software but rather by underlying system drivers or operating system invoked by standard Windows system software called by Adobe's installation procedures. When troubleshooting some problems on my systems due to CD/DVD problems (not associated with installing or using Adobe software, but occuring when otherwise reading or writing CD/DVD content by non-Adobe installers or other software), I was amazed at how much crud is installed by these CD/DVD authoring and playback programs and the potential for conflict between these drivers, all competing to control my CD/DVD and BlueRay drives. Either the BSOD is being caused by the base level CD/DVD driver or more likely, by any number of additional drivers installed by various CD/DVD authoring programs that try to intercept or augment the standard CD/DVD driver. Numerous reports on this forum report BSODs when having troubles reading an installation DVD (i.e., "read errors" due to a marginal disk or marginal drive). What is true is that underlying drivers and operating system code can cause a BSOD. But again, the facts are that (1) the actual software installation is done underneath the covers by the same Microsoft Installer used by all other Windows-compliant applications and (2) there is absolutely nothing in any of the Adobe applications, the installer scripts, and/or the software that is installed that can yield a BSOD directly. That is exactly why turning off on-access virus checkers is advised. There is nothing that Adobe is trying to install that Windows Vista SP1 or your hardware "doesn't like." Yes, there have been times that Virus scanners do yield "false positives" when software is installed. Sorry Mike, but you just don't know what you are talking about.
