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.
