NTVDM.exe crashes on checked (debug) build of Windows

[kristibektashi]

Specifically Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Checked with SP1

Use checked NTVDM-build, install .pdb debug symbols and check stacktrace of crash.

Just saw that Server 2008 R2 is Vista-based kernel. Installer even warns you about it that this is not a supported Windows Version. Do you really need it on such an ancient platform?

2008 is Vista-based. 2008 R2 is 7-based.

Ah, right..! I only found checked build of Windows Server 2008 for download in order to test it, can someone supply a DL-source for Server 2008 R2 checked as specified by OP?

Should be a good ISO in there somewhere. I see some checked builds in the listing.

I installed it, but I have no way to update it into a working condition. When I try to install some updates, I always get certificate errors: "A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider."
Without any updates, TLS 1.2 won't work, consequently MS Symbol server doesn't work, which causes malfunction in downloading symbols during setup, consequently cannot install NTVDMx64.
How did you get it into a working condition?

This should help.

I think you misunderstood this, the problem is that NO UPDATES can be installed due to certificate issues mentioned above leading to outdated TLS-libraries / winhttp which cannot be updated.
Additionally, your link is for Vista-based kernels, R2 is Win 7 based.
