Install of latest Adrenaline drivers hit a roadblock - maybe

[FeuerFrei]

Running Windows 7 64 bit. AMD Settings app notified me that new video drivers were available for download. SO I downloaded. (I've been running 19.4.something)

Sadly, installing driver package Adrenaline 2019 19.5.2 failed with an error just now. Error 1603 - a general error.

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-kb1603

Following steps outlined at the link above, I attempted running DISM at an elevated command prompt. BUUUUT, DISM couldn't process the command line option /RestoreHealth.

Probably because that option isn't available for Windows 7.
(see here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...up-image/33be783f-6e3f-408b-9d0c-901cd19c14ea)

I ran SFC /Scannow and everything checked out, no disk integrity issues to fix.


Looking at the log file created by the Adrenaline installer ... the install process failed on the AMD Settings app installation. The other packages installed fine - Control Center, Visual C++, Display Driver, HDMI Audio driver.
( The AMD Settings app doesn't seem too system critical, IMO. )

At this point. What do I do?
(see log file below)

Do I revert to the latest Windows Restore Point? Run DISM with different command parameters? Avoid any reboots?

What happens if I click "Restart Now"? PC reboots, new driver finishes installing? Or not.

Tried DISM without /RestoreHealth.
Error 87 again. But this time a generic complaint about command line options - didn't complain about any specific parameter. Previously it complained about "RestoreHealth" specifically.

I've had something similar happen in the past. I uninstalled ALL AMD software off of the rig, and started more-or-less fresh, chipset, video, etc., until I found one that installed. Some installer packages just have issues.

It can also have something to do with WHICH Windows Update(s) for Win7 64-bit that you have installed, especially the cryptography-related and certificate-related updates. If AMD signed their install packages with updated signatures, and you don't have those updates and certs installed on your system, then they may not install correctly.

Out of curiousity I ran DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /scanhealth. It repaired a good number of registry entries - FWIW.

Summary:
Seconds executed: 767
Found 195 errors
Fixed 177 errors
CSI Unexpected Failure Total count: 8
CSI C Mark Deployment Missing Total count: 2
CSI F Mark Bad Type Total count: 90
Fixed: CSI F Mark Bad Type. Total count: 90
CSI F Mark Missing Total count: 87
Fixed: CSI F Mark Missing. Total count: 87
CSI Missing Winning Component Key Total count: 8

I'm thinking the "/Cleanup-Image" parameter expects one of three sub-parameters, otherwise it won't function.

Not sure where this scan+repair job gets me, but hey.

How about I just re-run the Adrenaline installer and only select the "AMD Settings" component for install?
