Disable auto update in Radeon settings fix this !

It appears to not be an AV issue:
"
[Window Title]
C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\AMD\CN\cimmanifest.exe

[Content]
The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

[OK]"

Got the same error today.
My system:
Core i7-3770
Radeon R9-280
Windows 7 64 bit

I remember updating the GPU drivers some days ago. This error is reproduceable, just by clicking the "Search for updates" button in Crimson. So it seems indeed the updater is defect.

Maybe AMD forgot to add Win7 support - anybody with Win 8 or higher reporting this issue?

Lol you're full of ♥♥♥♥.

It's just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ error handling on the side of AMD.

All I'm saying is it's a glitch on their end, possibly with the installer and security certificate itself.

Due to the security certificate issue and file coding, I can understand if security software and/or the web-browser itself would block it. Things like this do happen, it's not common to be released to the public like that without testing first, but still possible. Some patience is require as they are the ones who have to fix it, nothing much you can do about it.

"It's a false positive coming from your anti-virus software."

You've typed this in at least two posts now, and while it 'may' be the case, it is not the 'only' case. My situation, for example.

I do not have or run any antivirus software on my system whatever. Nothing. The message that everyone is suddenly getting about this 'CIMMANIFEST.EXE' not being compatible (not that is malicious or anything of the sort), popped up when I booted my system an hour ago or so. It wasn't present before this.

I've also NOT updated my drivers (or anything else for that matter, *exception below) lately. So, not due to an update, and nothing to do with false positives from virus software here.

The 'only' thing I can confirm that has changed, is that late-ish last night, *I downloaded/installed Blade and Soul. I wonder if any one else having the problem has done the same?

Incidentally, Win 7 Pro here.

Are you able to go to the location (username being your login name):
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\AMD\CN\cimmanifest.exe

Right-click it and open with Notepad or similar text editor.

I will assume it's corrupted due to a failed HTTP GET request or has been injected. If it's corrupted or failed, you should be able to read an error message inside, rather than the file itself (which was meant to be downloaded/copied).

[Bob Kebab]

I don't even have my GPU installed right now and got the message (it's in for RMA service).

Randomly popped up in Windows 10 x64.
Said something like "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\AMD\CN\cimmanifest.exe is a 32-bit application and cannot properly function. Contact publisher for a 53 bit version"

Don't know this game, but maybe it required the latest GPU drivers and downloaded it.
My driver version is 15.12 - did you check your version ?

That is most unlikely, as the whole installation package is downloaded in one big file and gets automatically integrity checked before unpacking and installing.

[Butch Deadlift]

Can anyone tell me how to stop the auto-update so I don't get this message?

[tsdcs]

There is a hotfix out per reddit:

I know people think it's helpful to go all "IT helpdesk" and tell people it's an antivirus issue etc, but it's not. Perhaps try reading what people are describing before assuming they are idiots.

I, like many people, ran my PC fine yesterday, booted it up today, and got this error. AMD and/or Microsoft have clearly silently updated something overnight which has broken this part of the AMD software/driver package.

[LHammonds]

I'm getting the same error message. PC was fine this morning. Turned it on after getting home from work and that error message popped up before I touched anything. Currently have AMD software version 15.30.1025.1001-151204e-296 and it says its the current version. I am manually downloading the 16.1 hotfix (300 MB) for Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

EDIT: Success. The AMD update fixed the problem.

Version is now 15.301.1201-151223a-297971C

Which is related to a security certificate issue... hense the anti-virus blocking or warnings as a side-effect, etc.

If you want the root cause... it's AMD. There you happy?

[BARTMAN]

Not an antivirus issue. The message is a windows system pop-up. Even disabled avast guard temporarily and re-ran. It's just the case that AMD is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ vendor and it's par for the course with their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ video cards. Am I surprised? Not in the least.

[Rusovitch]

My system Packard Bell FIH57:
Core i5 650 / 3.20 GHz
4 GB DDR3 / 664.90 MHz Kingston
AMD Radeon HD 5450
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit*
Same at the box open, no hardware changes in years. Yes clean it (a clean PC is a happy PC ^^)

Just Yesterday I touch various aspects in the retransmision configurations and no much more... and today, turn on the computer and voilá, error! I hope what resolves with the update of drivers but... I don´t know...
