I've had issues getting the CCC from ATI to install for the last 4-5 updates (basically 8.11 on) I've tried. I actually re-imaged my hard drive to get rid of the 9.3 install (kept getting the mom.implementation error). Recently during the 9.4 install, the CCC portion gave me some sort of failure message as well.
Here's what I've learned in the process of trying to update my drivers over the last few months.
1) Make sure .Net 1.1 and 2.0 are up to date before doing anything. I had to slipstream SP1 for .Net 1.1 to install it all on Vista 64bit. Make sure your chipset drivers are up to date as well.

2) Uninstall the old drivers with the ATI uninstaller and reboot, then manually delete the C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies folder. If you don't do this, I've found sometimes the mom.implementation error will forever come up (I've read the ATI.ACE subfolder retains information from the last install attempt, and if you get an error during the install, the error will just repeat on the next attempt). Reboot into safe mode and run Driver Cleaner to get rid of any remaining ATI files.

3) I've also had better luck installing the display driver first, rebooting, and then installing the CCC package separately. The display driver normally goes without a hitch. If the CCC gives anything but a green light at the end of the installation, try reinstalling the CCC package again before rebooting. Normally I have to install it at least 2 times before I get a green light.
Optional 4) Test with your games to ensure everything is running well, then make an image of the system. I use Acronis True Image 11 for this purpose.
