MMC 9.0 "upgrade"

Has anyone been able to install MMC 9.0 over 8.x? Or even install 9.0 after
uninstalling 8.x? If so, i'd love to hear from you.

neither 8.9 nor 9.0 would install for me over 8.8, or after i uninstall 8.8.

The setup program will load/initialize and then simply disappear on me
without any error.

Help.

Alan

I went through the 8.9 uninstall and 9.0 install and everything worked as
normal.

Try using the Catuninstaller on

http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/m...lystutils.html

to completely remove all ATI software and then install MMC9.0

Obviously, after using CAT-uninstaller, you'll have to re-install all ATI
software, including drivers, DVD decoder, WDM driver, Guide+, everything.

It will give you a clean slate to start with.

Why is a step like this necessary? Normally uninstalls and/or upgrades take
care of all this for you?

In my case, the usual uninstall-install of newer versions has worked for the
last 12 months.

The CAT-uninstaller must do a better job of removing ATI software. That's
why ATI wrote it (I assume).

OK,

I uninstalled 8.8.

I ran the catuninstaller.

i rebooted.

I reinstalled the WDM.

I rebooted.

XP found all the "new" hardware.

I launched the 9.0 install.

same thing happened. it extracted the files, it initialized the installer.
The installer disappeared AGAIN without any error.

Find the folder ATI\support\ and the mmc folder there. Try running
setup.exe to see if it will install that way. Do you have more than one WDM
installed? If so, uninstall that and reinstall the ATI WDM. Reboot and
cancel any "new hardware found" installation and do it manually.

Running it from that directory does the same exact thing.

From the control panel/Administrative/Device manager - there is only one WDM
installed.

How do i uninstall the WDM?
