SBS 2008 IAMW crashes during initial setup / Can't configure serve

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I am setting up SBS 2008 for the first time and when I get to the (critical)
"setup your Internet Address" step, it crashes. I tell it to use an existing
domain that I will manage and as soon as I type in the domain name and click
configure it immediately crashes and gives me a "Windows SBS 2008 Domain
Purchase and Configuration Wizard has stopped working" message.

I have scoured the event log and cannot find an entry associated with this
event. The only solution I have been able to find online is to run the "Fix
my network" wizard, which I have done repeatedly and fixed every problem
except the following:

Could not configure the router (a given)
DNS is using a DNS Forwarder (deliberately)
The Internet domain name is not configured (duh)
Certificate Authority stopped (haven't got that far yet)
Exchange SMTP connectors are invalid (haven't got that far yet)

I'm under a lot of pressure to get this up and running, please help!
