Finally, the reply regarding the one-byte .cat file:
If it is an error it will be corrected, the driver developers have been forwarded this feedback as well. If it is the way it is supposed to be, it will remain as is.

Just for the archive:

Complain to AMD/ATI for not properly signing their drivers.
My complain at the AMD Global Customer Care resulted into:
If you wish to use WHQL certified drivers for your legacy product, try the Catalyst 9.3 drivers.
Any driver version past this will not be WHQL certified and this will not change. Drivers past 9.3 for the legacy products are hotfix releases and do not get passed by Microsoft certification, without certification from MS they do not get to be designated as WHQL certified and the code cannot be changed without Microsoft's approval/certification.
This reply does not answer my question about the invalid cat file, though.

Yes, and if you unpack the official AMD/ATI drivers from here you'll see the same thing.

Oh, I see, I will complain.
May I suggest to remove any invalid certificates from the DriverPacks, or rename them to XYZ.cat_invalid or something like that? I removed the invalid catalogue file and DPInst could at least install the driver with help of the driver signer warner disabler tool and the Finisher did installed the CCC eventually. The invalid file caused DPInst to log an error, but ignore the driver otherwise.
Thanks mr_smartepants,

The mentioned file is not a valid certificate, because of this the driver is rejected, I guess, and the built-in driver is used. I have disabled Driver Signing in WinXP/SP3 via dialogue box.
