I have heard (and I may be wrong) that ATI's Universal installer needs OpenGL 1.2.2 regardless of the card, so I plan on just moving those extensions over as well. I believe you can use tomeviewer to extract 1.2.2 from the 9.2 update as well. Since your problem seems to be with installation, I'm not sure if any of this is a help, but the OpenGL issues may be good to be aware of .
