anybody have problem installing the catalyst driver into win 8?

i double clicked the installer .exe but after waiting for a long time it just won't start, nothing pops out


[EDIT] i found the solution. the cause is AVAST ANTIVIRUS. disable it and your installer will run perfectly. applies to other programs which refuse to run as well

the same method you use to format your desktop. i highly recommend Windows 8.1 with Spring update a.k.a Update 1.

just to be sure....

so here's what i need

i) the drivers required for the laptop

ii) a windows 8 bootable usb drive


so i just boot from my usb and select clean install / reformat from there, after everything is done i just proceed with drivers installation ?
