Error applying transformations.

Hiya!

So I've been on the phone with both Microsoft and AMD this morning.

I've installed a new graphics card onto my computer. I tried to delete the old driver software for my built in using the amduninstall utility, but it wont uninstall until the previous catalyst install managers are uninstalled. Trying to uninstall those (there are 2 in my control pannel) yields 2 results: Change or Repair.

Clicking either results in "error the applying transformations. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid".

So I can't uninstall the old installer, which will allow me to run the uninstall utility, which will allow me to install the new drivers. Yaaaay!

Microsoft and AMD both told me that there were programs I could run that could uninstall them manually, but AMD said that was out of their support range (rightly so) and Microsoft wanted me to pay $100. Which I don't have and is ludicrous for someone to tell me which program I need to fix this. Help would be appreciated.

I ran the fix program, and the install manager is no longer on the control panel. However the uninstall utility for amd will still not run saying "issue occured during the catalyst install manager uninstallation. Please uninstall CIM manually and then try and run this utility.
 

Try to delete the install directory (c:/program files/amd/ati (or /ati/cim) manually.
