Summary of what Daniel Armbrust <daniel DOT armbrust AT charter DOT net> wrote (too
much to quote - all relevant):

WinXP SP1, setup.exe seems to cause bluescreen STOP 0x00000024, when
finishing the download step and beginning the install step, if (many/any -
this is unclear - can you clarify?) packages have been downloaded. Suggested
relates to: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=195857

Me commenting on above:
The KB article says the problem occurs when an app shuts down. I'm not
saying the issue couldn't be related, but its not the same issue.

Please clarify exactly what you have to do to reproduce the problem: Is
downloading a couple of packages enough, or must it be a substantial portion
of the distribution?

Returning to quoting:

Well, the most any user program can do to cause a bluescreen is to tickle a
bug in the OS.

I think you've just been horribly unlucky. This is the first bug report of
this kind of thing in ages.
