Sidebar crashing when installing applications

For whatever reason the sidebar seems to like to crash in the middle of application installations. It does not seem to matter what applications (but CS3 seems to be the worst one) I pick to install it seems to die along the way. It's kinda scary seeing those pop-up boxes coming up asking if you want to debug. So I added the following task sequence to kill the sidebar right before installing apps.

taskkill /F /IM sidebar.exe /T
