If you get this blue screen during installation of Windows, one of the most likely causes is bad media.  Replace your DVD or download a new ISO image.

If you get this error installing Windows 7 in a VMWare Workstation virtual machine, VMWare has that “easy install” feature were you can type in the product key in VMWare’s set up screen before installation of Windows starts (as well as specify username and password).  Make double sure you have a legitimate product key.
