Can't install the latest AMD drivers

Exactly as the title says, I downloaded the latest Catalyst 14.6 drivers for the oficial website ( 5/27/2014 ). The install process went smoothly and pressed finish, restarted my PC as it has been required of me and when I enter to check what drivers I got they are Catalyst 14.2 from 5/22/2014.. I won a R9 270x MSI OC edition, so Mantle should be accepted by my GPU however I can't install the Mantle driver..
Can anyone help me? I've tryed uninstalling all the AMD Drivers from my PC and reistalling them again, with the new one, and it still says that I have the 5/22/2014 drivers installed even though I pressed on the latest beta drivers .exe.
Looking forward for your reply, Thank you!

Was fah running okay with the 14.2 drivers? We don't typically recommend beta drivers for this exact reason. 14.4 is known to fold well. Use those, and a driver cleaner.

Welcome to the F@H Forum Explozzion,

Please note that F@H doesn't use Mantle, it uses OpenCL (not OpenGL) for the calculations. Do note that we would require the log file for further troubleshooting (viewtopic.php?f=81&t=26036). Moreover, if you are encountering errors with a beta driver, you may get better support over at the AMD Forum (http://forums.amd.com/) since we generally recommend WHQL drivers over Beta ones for folding.
