AMD Install Manager failing — use manual 8.07.16.1035 chipset installer to fix

The AMD Install Manager is failing to install recent chipset drivers and returns a generic error on many systems. A standalone chipset installer for version 8.07.16.1035 is available at the bottom of AMD's release notes page; downloading, running it and rebooting completes the update. The failure has been reproduced by multiple users on different CPUs and motherboards (examples include a Ryzen 7 7700X on Gigabyte X670 and a Ryzen 7 7800X3D on Asus B650EM Max Gaming), indicating the problem is not limited to one chipset or board. Keeping chipset drivers up to date is important for system stability, so affected users should use the manual package if the automatic installer fails.
