I was about to install node.js on a brand new Windows 7 64bit system. But during the installation I get a bluescreen. It happens while "copying new files". I tried node.js 8.9.4 and 9.5.0, both in 64 bit. Any idea what's wrong? bluescreen

edit: I now enabled virtual memory and the message has changed. Now I get

The driver is attempting to access memory beyond the end of the allocation.

And here the current screenshot of the dump: enter image description here

Honestly, these problems seem absolutely weird... I have never before had such issues with the installation of nodejs. And I'm doing it on a new machine which is up-to-date.

  • no, not really. The first time I'm having such issues with installing nodejs... somewhat strange... I still have no idea why the bluescreens appears. – Sheldon Feb 12 '18 at 22:32
  • I've just tried to install via commandline with Chocolatey:https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#windows but it failed too. Bluescreen again. – Sheldon Feb 12 '18 at 22:46

I've figured out what the issue was. It had to do with Comodo Programs Manager. After having deinstalled the program, everything worked fine again. But on my old machine I used to run Comodo Programs Manager as well. So it remains strange why it now caused such issues.
