I encountered the same problem with my Radeon 9800 and I guess I found a workaround which should come in handy for you as well:

Just enable the "Windows XP Compatibility Mode" in the setup exe`s properties, then execute it. Doing this, the program believes to run in an XP-Environment and won`t complain anymore. After installation and reboot, you still have to enable the hardware acceleration (you`ll find it here: Display properties->Advanced->Troubleshoot). After that, the Ati Control Panels will be enabled and you can use everything without any compatibility issues. At least, it worked fine for me...
