AMD Catalyst Drivers Not Installing: "Application Install: install package failure!"

[esspy2]

I ordered the new R9 290 from newegg, but then when I tried to install the drivers for it through the Sapphire disk, I encounter the message: "Application Install: install package faliure!" Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Disk install hasn't worked, direct website install hasn't worked; they all have the same error.

Worked for me.

So, today I just found a very easy way to resolve this AMD issue.

After failing to install, AMD will leave all of its setup files in C:\AMD.

Simply go to C:\AMD\Config\ and open InstallManager.cfg with notepad.

Near the end of the file, there will be "WorkaroundInstall=false"

This needs to be changed to true.

Run setup.exe again and install like normal!

THAAAAAANKS Worked 100% ♥.

Finally solved this thanks to tanaya-yt, after trying everything else.

An old thread but I thought I'd add my fix for those who may still have this issue.

Tanaya-yt's post directed me to check Event Viewer and my issue was with the MsiInstaller; it could not access the network location G;\Users\Default\Desktop\. You see, I moved my user folders to another drive, drive G and when I edited the registry, I used a semicolon instead of a colon. I fixed the registry entries and installed AMD Catalyst with no issues.
