I've been trying to install CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 under Win 7 64-bit.
Part way through the install I get an error message that says "The file "propschemareg64.exe" is not marked for installation" (in two places), and at the end "Fatal error during installation". The install process tells me it is actually installing to the /programs/x86 directory, which is for 32-bit programs, so I assume that is correct..
I contacted Corel support and they simply say "X4 is not supported under windows 7" and that's it. No further help.
I previously had this program running under Windows XP (32-bit) but I recently updated my computer to Win 7 64-bit..
I've successfully installed my earlier CorelDRAW Essentials (v9) in Win 7, and for the time being this will suit me. However, I have a number of X4 files that I need to work on and v9 will not allow me to open them. Does anyone know of a way of fooling with the X4 files so that I can import them into v9?
Alternatively, can anyone help with making X4 Suite run under Windows7 64-bit? In particular, the specific install error message I am getting?
Hello Brian G: If It will help, You can email me the files and I'll send them back in ver. 9

That's very kind of you to offer George, but I'm going to try installing the X4 suite onto my laptop (running XP) and see if I can access them that way.
I know that once I've opened them I have the option to re-save them in a different (earlier) format.
There are only a couple of files I need soon, but I'm not sure how many v14 format I have in total.

I've done this but I'm still not absolutely clear what to do. Do I just delete files that are in the "Temp" folder (which in any case is empty), or do I delete ALL the folders and everything else that appears?. Most of the folders seem to be empty but some contain .exe files and there is also a load of .TMP, .sql, .log and other files I have no idea of what the function is.
I installed X4 Suite OK on my laptop, so I can at least open and copy the files I need using that.
Hello Brian G; In the "Windows" dir. there is a sub dir.called "Temp" programs use that temp dir to wright to while it's runing and they can make othere dir. also you are safe to del anything thing that ends with ".tmp". most of the time the programs will delete the files for you but not all the time. ( It's a good idea to clean the "Temp" dir. at every so often.)
The only mention of this error on Google is this thread. Something out of the ordinary is wrong.
That means to sort it out you are in deep dodo.
You should probably work through issues from the bottom up.
Disk check
Memory check
Virus Scan
Make sure that no anti-virus software in stopping the file installation
Turn off DEP -- System Properties / Performance Option
Run the installer in Admin mode by right clicking the setup program
And if all that fails repair the windows installation.

Copy the DVD to the HD and run install from there as well.

I assume you are using legit versions of both X4 and Win 7.
How does PropSchemaReg64.exe error occur?
I'd like to thank everyone for their responses so far.
I built a new system a while ago, which is when I installed Windows 7 64-bit. This was a fresh install on a brand new hard drive. The Corel X4 suite was one of the first programs that I installed and I immediately got the "Error 2753. The File 'propschemeareg64.exe' is not marked for installation" message. However, I was initially having a problem with the RAM installed on my system and I thought this may have been affecting the installation of the program. I now have the RAM problem sorted out (one of my banks of brand new, major name, matched set of DDR3 memory was faulty) so I am attempting the installation again, since I need to work on some v14 files I created with the previous (Win XP) installation of the X4 software.
I contacted Corel support when I first experienced the problem and they gave me some suggestions, but since the RAM was still suspect, I thought I should sort that out before I continued further. Now I've contacted Corel a gain, their response is completely different and they are simply saying X4 is not Win 7 compatible - buy the new version (X5) and they don't seem to want to give me any other help, apart from a coupon for a small discount for the upgrade, which still renders it far too expensive to contemplate.
I run Eset NOD32 anti-virus and have also done every type of disk and anti-malware scan that I can think of, but I'm still getting the error message. I've turned off the Eset anti-virus during install, but no different.
I'm not sure what "Turn off DEP -- System Properties / Performance Option" means, can you expand on that please?
I have no reason to believe that my Windows install is faulty and needs repair, since all my other programs are OK. The Win 7 install was a full install from CD onto a fresh HD, not an update of another version of Windows. I've run the Microsoft checking tools and come up with no error reports.
The link http://community.coreldraw.com/wikis/howto/troubleshooting-computer-says-no.aspx above seems to mainly relate to Win XP, but I'm willing to remove and reinstall NET Framework 3.0 if that helps.
Copying the DVD to my HD and installing it from there was one suggestion that Corel Support made previously, but that makes no difference.
The link http://www.instantspywareremoval.com/errors/PropSchemaReg64.exe.html brings up a warning message from ESet NOD32 that this is a dangerous site, and blocks me from accessing it.
"I assume you are using legit versions of both X4 and Win 7". Absolutely! Both genuine licensed and registered programs, installed from CD, not downloads. The X4 is an "upgrade" version, purchased from Amazon, but that only meant that I had to provide the serial number from my previous Corel "Essentials Suite" in order to register it.
Does this mean I should look through the registry to see if I can find a file called PropSchemaReg64.exe? I've run a registry cleaner program so I though that might have cleaned out any unwanted residual entries.
I'm next going to try emptying the "temp" directory (I'll make sure I set a restore point first).
As I said previously, I've successfully installed X4 onto my laptop so I can open and convert the files that way, so at least I can work on the job I need to do.
Regards to all.

If you have had a RAM issue then anything is possible.
Usually 90% of RAM issues I've seen are fixed by gently rubbing the contact with a pencil rubber. It is either residue from manufacturing or slight oxidation of the contacts caused when the metal of the contracts and the RAM slots are different (which is normal).
You can have a RAM error that will only effect some operations that hit a particular point in RAM or a specific type of memory function.
You need to run a RAM test and let it do many passes over night to be sure.

Or better still use http://www.memtest.org/
I've seen this where a computer was unstable but only Norton Anti-virus would not actually run.
Sounds to me like you haven't loaded much on the laptop yet. I'd be guessing that it is one of those damned MS poor practices that you get a laptop with the OS installed and they don't give you a DVD. And if you go a normal DVD it won't take the product code. We should KILL BILL for allowing this. So If I was to say...
Then I'm not really helping. But that is likely what you need to do for a start.

It's not a very common error.

That has the most info.

As I mentioned in my previous reply. the RAM problem has now been fixed, so that can be ruled out.
Don't understand your reference to laptop. See my reply above.
I've actually run a repair/reinstall of Windows 7 64-bit and there has been no change to the problem.
Because the program installs OK from the same disk onto my XP 32 bit laptop I think the disk must be OK.
The google.com link you posted takes me to a page that I cannot understand and haven't got the time to understand. The second link relates to Windows Vista service pack2, which has nothing to do with what I'm doing.
As a test, I downloaded the trial version of Corel Suite X5 and tried installing that. I got the same error message in the same places when trying to install that.
The thing that gets me is, if this software is so clever that it knows the "file is not marked for installation," then why the heck doesn't it mark the thing for installation? I have never had so many problems with a piece of software as I am having trying to do a simple install of this X4 suite.
The file might be locked so it can't be over written. See if it exists and then delete it is it does.
As you can see from Google the issue is reasonably unique. If you have a DVD for Win 7 then reformat the drive and start again as a last call. Most computers that are supplied with Windows installed don't come with as DVD.
You can just say 'the RAM has been replaced and therefore it is OK' unless you have run a memory test. You can't make any assumptions at all.
Win 7 SP1 came out this week. So everyone should be loading that too.
