Stop Error 0x0000005D appears when Installing Windows Server 2012 on XenServer 5.6

[Jenny Newcomb]

I am trying to install Server 2012 on XenServer 5.6 and have used the "other" template file and have an ISO of server 2012 loaded. When I try to install the server OS I get a black screen with the Stop Error 0x0000005D as posted in http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX135255 However I did check my Host this morning and already have the No-Execute Memory Protection enabled as the article says. So this did not fix my problem. Has anyone else run into this an been able to successfully deploy server 2012 on XenServer 5.6?

Performance and experience will be better if you can install XenTools though.

This applies to XenServer 6.x - i don't think that Server 2012 runs on XenServer 5.6.x

I actually changed the template install to win server 2008 R2 and the install worked fine. I did need to add this item to the server to stop a circular boot after the os install.
xe vm-param-set uuid=<VM UUID> platform:viridian=false
then I was not able to install the xentools.
Next step is testing to see if the server will perform fine without that.
So it may not be supported - but it will install.

Eventually I fix the error by changing the template to any x64 Windows edition.

It took me some browsing, but my solution was enablig nx flag in VM settings:
