Fix : Product Installation Unsuccessful Please Reinstall Error 24 – Corel Photo Paint, CorelDraw etc dead June 1st 2010!

June 10, 2010

orDear Reader,

I bring to you this fix to the recent global Corel installation unsuccessful error. Some thing that gave us this annoying messagebox. Thanks to Mohd Saqib for the tip off and the fix.

corel-uninstallation-error

You would be glad to know that we have found the fix to the problem.You need to down load this file extract the files and copy it to the following path on your system.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X
or try this path….
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Corel\CorelDRAW

Here we are assuming you run windows PC. In case this does not work for you…there are other simple solutions like running the Corel software by changing your system date to any date earlier than 1st, June 2010. Even Corel has confirmed the bug and will issue an update for the users soon.

You may also be interested in the RunAsDate application that can run a particular software in a previous date without affecting other software and the OS.

Update: Some of you have asked about the right place to add the patch in Window Vista.
use this path – Computer/C:/Program Data/Corel/CorelDraw Graphics Suite X4
Thanks to Estee and Saqib for the updates.

    In Windows Vista extract the file to Computer/C:/Program Data/Corel/CorelDraw Graphics Suite X4, which can be seen through WinRar when prompted to extract. Just say yes to replace the existing file and it works!!

    Many thanks

  5. @ Fatman..

    Dear it seems like u r not doing paste & replace the patch in correct directory… and well it depends on different-2 OS. It would be good if u tell us what operating system u r using now, so that we can give you the exact directory path to do paste -replace in your computer… hope then it will work for u..

    Or if u r using windows xp then go on start and select RUN.. then do copy paste following address there..
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4
    a folder will be open then paste and replace the fix in that one.

    OR if u r using windows vista the try this path..
    Computer/C:/Program Data/Corel/CorelDraw Graphics Suite X4

    Hope this help 🙂
