If you are receiving AMD driver 182 when you try to update or install graphics drivers, continue reading to find out how to fix the issue.

What is AMD Driver Error 182?

During the AMD graphics driver update process, AMD Radeon Software Installer may terminate the installation and return the following error: “Oops something went wrong – AMD software installation error 182.”

AMD Software Installer is a tool for Windows computers that check a system for compatible AMD products and downloads and install drivers. The application includes generic drivers as well. These drivers are compatible with many graphics products, but not all. Graphics products such as Custom AMD graphics, Legacy AMD graphics, and Embedded AMD graphics aren’t supported by AMD software.

How to troubleshoot Driver Error 182?

Download right drivers

First identify your graphics card and then download appropriate drivers. To see the type of graphics card you have, perform these steps:

• Type device manager in the search bar in the taskbar
• In the Device Manager window, locate and expand Display adapters
• Next-right click AMD Radeon Graphics and select Properties

• Click the Details tab and then select Hardware IDs in the Property drop-down menu

• Pay attention to the first line in the Value field. So, in screenshot below, Value – PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_15DD&SUBSYS_D0001458&REV_C6 is the AMD Radeon device ID string. And the Subsystem ID is 1458. Note down the Subsystem ID

Now follow these steps to manually download and install AMD graphics driver.

• Open your web browser
• Go to AMD drivers and support web page
• Search for the latest driver for your device using the Subsystem ID
• Download the driver installation file and save it on the desktop or some other location
• Double-click the installation file (.exe) and wait for installation to complete

Update your Windows system

If the error persists, try updating the Windows system. Here’s what you need to do:

• Press the Win + I keys
• Click Update & Security and then click Check for updates
• If you see an update, download and install it by clicking the Download & Install button
• You may have to restart Windows after the installation is complete

If the error still persists, it might be best to contact AMD support.
