ATI WDM Driver Installation Overview
There are two phases that occur during the installation of the WDM driver that has been downloaded from the AMD WEB site. The first phase occurs when you run the 8-4_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_60999.exe file. This phase creates a temporary directory on the system disk and unpacks all the individual files that make up the software bundle.
In the second phase the SETUP program is launched from the temporary directory created in the first phase. SETUP installs the software (from the temporary directory) into the operating system.
