I'm getting this error while trying to install Coreldraw X3 and X4 in Vista Ultimate. It does and did work in Vista before I re-imaged my drive. I have admin rights and priviledges and have cleaned the registry until it's sterile. All the info I've found on the net hasn't worked such as removing then setting admin rights again.
Corel has not been helpful though the forum did try a few suggestions. I'm at my wits end and don't know what else to try.
I appreciate any info anyone can offer at this point.
Thanks
 
The error can often occurs because of some admin privileges set incorrectly on your system

make sure that you have admin privileges if running the installation on Windows NT, 2000, or XP. Installations require administrative privileges on these operating systems in order to create registry keys.
Install the latest Windows Installer

& make sure that you have Windows Installer 2.0 or higher installed on your system. Some issues in older versions of Windows Installer returned that error. Most issues are fixed in Windows Installer 2.0. To upgrade to the latest Windows Installer Install a new Windows Installer Engine

Thanks but I've been thru all of that and since I'm using Vista, there's no more recent version of an installer than what's already installed. However, it's possible that a repair of the current installer may help since mine might be broken. I'll give that a try.
