| Member | Catalyst won't launch Hello everyone, I've got this problem since the time I build my new rig. ATI Catalyst software doesn't launch. It's been like this with V8.3 and V8.3 + Hotfix 64 and same with last V8.4 Vista x64. after searching arround I found a detailled Installation log file in C:/Program Files x84/Ati Techonology/ Core...../ It mentioned some error, eventhough in the final Log view of ATI install Manager it was showing successfull for all elements. Here are the errors and I also put on attachment the complet Log File: [2008-04-26 17:39:06Z] Message: CLI.Caste.Graphics.Wizard.DLL successfully installed into the GAC [2008-04-26 17:39:06Z] Exception: Could not find C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Graphics-Previews-Common\Install.xml at ATI.ACE.CCCInstall.Tasks.BaseTask.MassagePath(String path) at ATI.ACE.CCCInstall.Tasks.GACTasks.Run(String filePath) [2008-04-26 17:39:06Z] Exception: Could not find C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Graphics-Previews-Vista\Install.xml at ATI.ACE.CCCInstall.Tasks.BaseTask.MassagePath(String path) at ATI.ACE.CCCInstall.Tasks.GACTasks.Run(String filePath) [2008-04-26 17:39:06Z] Exception: Could not find \Install.xml at ATI.ACE.CCCInstall.Tasks.BaseTask.MassagePath(String path) at ATI.ACE.CCCInstall.Tasks.GACTasks.Run(String filePath) [2008-04-26 17:39:06Z] Message: Successfully loaded XML file C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\hydravision-full\Install.xml and [2008-04-26 17:39:07Z] Message: CLI.Aspect.MultiDesk.HydraVision.Shared.DLL successfully installed into the GAC [2008-04-26 17:39:07Z] Exception: Could not find C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\skins\Install.xml at ATI.ACE.CCCInstall.Tasks.BaseTask.MassagePath(String path) at ATI.ACE.CCCInstall.Tasks.GACTasks.Run(String filePath) ** CCCInstall ended: 2008-04-26 17:39:07Z =========================================== I'm pretty sure the reason of NO LAUNCH is there since logically without SKIN installed Catalyst has no way to launch. But how can I fix that, of course I've already open a ticket with AMD Support but I do not expect a real solution from them. During installation it extracts the installation file creating a directory c:/ATI . Is this could be the reason the installation does not find some Install.xml since it's looking for them in; for example C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\skins\Install.xml Should I browse "C:\Program Files (x86)\" during installation to extract there? Also if this version 8.4 of Drivers & catalyst is for Vista x64 why it installed in "C:/Program Files x84/" instead of "C:/Program Files/ATI Techonology" in this last appears only one text file "cccUtilx64.txt". Shouldn't be installing everything in "C:/Program Files/ATI technology" directory since it's compatible for 64bit OS. Also I noticed in Service that NetFrame 2 x64 was on manual setting and also have a Netframe 2 x84 there also on Manual. I understood that NetFrame 2 was neccesary for Catalyst, so should it be on automatic load service? Both of them (x64 & x84)? Actually I tried to set NetFrame x64 on automatic did not resolve my catalyst problem, but may be if I do that before installing Catalyst again would I get better results? I was thinking installing NetFrame 3.5, do you recommend it for Vista Home premium x64? Thks in advance for your replies. I know it's a lot of questions in one post, sorry abou that but I'm looking for a final solution. |
