When I install commercial v2018 on a PC where it was previously trial, setup normally starts the installation. When about 50% occurs, it throws a message that a newer version is installed on this pc and continues to click OK. At the end, he writes info about installing Visual C 2017 libraries, and then immediately the setup ends with a message about incomplete and fatal error. I removed normally the trial before, restarted the PC. What can you do about it? Is there any Corel cleaner installation in general? Did anyone meet that? I don't know what to do with it. Thanks for the possible reaction. Peter
Hi, Is Microsoft Windows fully updated? If yes, which version and bit do you have? Do you have any previous version or other Corel products installed?
well, I have fully updated Win 8.1Pro_64. No other Corel products installed here. Only that 2018 Trial and normally uninstalled...
Ok, obviously something went wrong there. Try the following;
