I always get this message when trying to install catalyst drivers, I had
8.3 which I uninstalled and now I can't install anything anymore,
somewhere I read that there is a problem with net framework 2.0 and
catalyst so I should reinstall net framework but you can't do that on
vista 64 it's embedded so I doubt this is really the cause of the problem.
I use an ATI X1300 Pro. Like you, I always uninstalled the previous CCC
before installing an update. It is common knowledge that ATI drivers are
troublesome to install. I decided long ago to just leave CCC alone and not
update it unless it was a necessity.
ATI releases more driver updates than any other graphics card vendor,
mostly to satisfy the gamers. If you are not a gamer there is really no need
for you to ever update the graphics card driver unless you are experiencing
a problem or need to update it for compatibility.
Thanks for all the help, let me be more precise now.
First I am not a begginer and yes I have uninstalled all of it although
it wasn't pretty, eventually I went into safe mode and removed all the
traces of ati with driver cleaner net yet it didn't help. Then I
installed visual c++ 2008 x64 and net frameowrk 3.0 and 3.5 I tried to
install 2.0 but vista claims it is already installed.
Here is how this happens, i run this file
8-3_vista64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_59753.exe
screen shows up

time

Although I am a pretty advanced user I am totaly new to Vista and maybe
it is my fault somehow, it is a fresh install of vista x64, the updates
are the service pack1, I have no antivirus or firewall(except windows
firewall), I turned off uac and superfetch, every program I tested works
except I can't get windows mail to start it tells me this message
'windows mail could not be started becuse msoe.dll could not be loaded'.
I've given up and will reinstall on an internal hard-drive, the thing is
I've installed vista on an external esata and at least once a week
chkdsk checks it when entering windows whitch means some files could be
corrupted and that's when chkdsk initalies itself it is definetly not a
scheduled check, I've scanned it for bad sectors and nothing.
I don't know maybe it's a crappy esata drive it's primary mode is usb so
maybe files get corrupted in the transfer or something I hope I have
better luck on a normal hard disk.
I hate to bring up such an ancient subject, but i stumbled across this postwhilst searching Google for a cure to ths issue.
Has anyone ever had any success with thi? I have even tried the steps here, usig not only CCleaner but 2 other cleaners to make sure all bad entries were gone from the registry during that step:

However, this does not work either.
I am about to just reinstall Vista, but I really do not want to. Time to reinstall Vista 64 bit -- half an hour. Time to reinstall Adobe and everything else I have that requires activations, licensing, etc. -- 2 weeks. I really do not want to do that but I have a feeling ATI hosed my OS with this :-(
