Hey hi again, i was bored and i found the one file that is causing the problem!!!! Finally Solved!!!!! having a not working 4.2 installation, just move the file mathematica/documentation/english/mainbook/browserindex.nb somewhere else, iE mathematica/ (just to keep it, i have honestly no idea what it is doing :) after this file is unreachable for index-building, everything works just allright :) i tried opening it with mathematica, it said it has corrup syntax, and tried afterwards to open it as a txt file, which took 100% cpu power for a long time, and looked exactly like the crash experienced before...
