Starlionblue, I had the exact same problem as you using a Windows 7 RC and Windows 2003 SBS server.
My user account had writable access to my redirected documents folder on my SBS server but when installing software that required the Documents folder the install would fail complaining that the redirected location was not available. I had this problem with various programs, ATI Drivers, Picasa and Rocket Dock to name a few.
Disabling UAC does nothing to alleviate the problem.
Mapping my home folder as the same location through the administrator command prompt would allow me to install software however. This lead me to believe that the problem was permissions.
My user account is a domain admin and local admin account but this made no difference.
The solution to the problem was that I had to add the "Domain Users" group to the share permissions of the redirected drive and add "Domain Users" to the NTFS permissions for the root of the share so that the administrator account could see share. Don't replicate the permissions through the sub folders.
I know this seems odd as my user account could see the root of the users share that shows the profile folders but it seems the run as administrator feature requires the domain users group to be able to see the user profile folders. Mapping the drive as administrator in a command shell was just bypassing the documents share root.
I found this problem quite annoying so I hope this fix works for you.

Finally managed to install CCC. It's exactly the same problem as som
other apps have except without the helpful error message
You may recall "Error 1327: Invalid drive i:" for, say, Adobe Reader
Follow these steps to fix and install CCC
Step 0: Remove all previous ATI installations
When you go into the elevated security mode during installation, al
your shares are lost! The reason being that you are now ?Administrator
and the shares are user specific. Makes sense in theory but is much
annoying in practice
This breaks the installer
So here's how you solve it
1. Disconnect the previously mapped network drive from Window
Explorer.
2. Right click on Command Prompt in the Start Menu and select Run A
Administrator.
3. Type "Net Use y: \\servername\sharename"
4. Exit out of the command prompt
5. Open Windows Explorer
6. Click 'Map network drive' menu item
7. Select the y: drive and typed \\servername\sharename into th
Folder box.
Not very intuitive, but it works!
EASIER WAY: If you already have a mapped network drive, just do step
2-4 and it should work...essentially you map it once for the user, onc
for the administrator

On a fresh vista ultimate install I cannot get CCC to install. I run the
installer downloaded from the ati.amd.com site and select a custom install
to see what is going to install. The only option is the north bridge driver.
I install the NB driver and everything goes through fine except it does not
install CCC or the new driver
Is anyone else with the ATI radeon 200m graphics having this problem?

Have you tried upgrading to the recent 7.4 release?
Have you tried upgrading to the recent 7.4 release? That was when I started
having trouble.
I had CCC running in the past until I went to upgrade to 7.4 from 7.3, The
method I used to upgrade was I uninstalled what I thought was all ATI
related items with the catalyst install manager, Rebooted, and to my
amazement the ATI external event utility was still installed so was the
catalyst install manager.
I then tried installing the 7.4 package downloaded from ATI website but the
only thing that wants to install is a North Bridge Filter Driver. I
installed that and went through the install routine and everything seems to
complete fine. I restart my system and look for CCC but it was not installed
neither was the graphics driver upgraded.
All that was before i decided to backup and do a clean wipe of the drive and
reinstall, Now on a clean system I try to run the catalyst installer again
thinking there should not be any problem. Not so lucky. I run the installer
with the custom option so I can choose what to install and again the only
option is the North Bridge Filter Driver. So I install that and reboot the
system, Still no CCC and Device Manager still shows the original driver that
installs with vista on this chipset.
The funny part is that when I go to run the installer again it wants to
reinstall that north bridge filter driver. Does not matter how many times I
run it, It still wants to install that driver.
So I go off searching on google and find some info about visual c+++ being
left behind. So I go remove the visual c++ package and then go to install
the driver but get the following error.
Failed to find any installable components.
I click ok and the installer quits.
Before the clean reinstall of vista I went into the registry and cleaned out
all refrences to CCC and Ati and deleted all related files and folders.
This is quite strange and It is bugging me. My laptop is usable but I am
stuck with the default drivers which where not all that great when released.
Any Ideas?

Update
This problem has been solved, It appears Gateway may have made a deal with
AMD that the drivers and software can only be updated through the
manufacturers site. The drivers would install before the 7.4 update just
fine.
I used the method and software explained on this page. Incase someone else
runs into this problem, Worked perfect.

Re: Cannot install ATI drivers or Catalyst Control Center
I would try installing Version 7.3, found here:
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/vista32/integratedprevious-vista32.html
Even though your product is listed as supported in the Release Notes for
7.4, I'm wondering if this is an error on ATI's part. It's happened before.
The installer behavior you describe is typical when trying to install an ATI
driver for hardware that is not supported. In my case, using the Find a
Driver function on ATI's site, I was taken to Version 7.3, which I
downloaded, but it wouldn't install the driver, no matter what choices I
made in the installer wizard. Find a Driver continued to find the wrong
driver, until, about a week-and-a-half later, it showed me this page:
http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=26978
For my hardware, ATI had corrected its error. As it stands, I'm using
Version 7.2, which installs, and works fine. It seems ATI, as with its XP
driver support, is not wanting to support Vista laptops either...
I have the same problem with the CCC and catalyst...
I have the same problem with the CCC and catalyst... i format too my
laptop and nothing... i try installing the Mobility Modder, but isnt

... and.. i have the same hardware i think, Xpress 200M,

Fix for redirected documents folder not permitting user to install software.
Starlionblue, I had the exact same problem as you using a Windows 7 RC and Windows 2003 SBS server.
My user account had writable access to my redirected documents folder on my SBS server but when installing software that required the Documents folder the install would fail complaining that the redirected location was not available. I had this problem with various programs, ATI Drivers, Picasa and Rocket Dock to name a few.
Disabling UAC does nothing to alleviate the problem.
Mapping my home folder as the same location through the administrator command prompt would allow me to install software however. This lead me to believe that the problem was permissions.
My user account is a domain admin and local admin account but this made no difference.
The solution to the problem was that I had to add the "Domain Users" group to the share permissions of the redirected drive and add "Domain Users" to the NTFS permissions for the root of the share so that the administrator account could see share. Don't replicate the permissions through the sub folders.
I know this seems odd as my user account could see the root of the users share that shows the profile folders but it seems the run as administrator feature requires the domain users group to be able to see the user profile folders. Mapping the drive as administrator in a command shell was just bypassing the documents share root.
I found this problem quite annoying so I hope this fix works for you.
