Thanks, it worked! It has successfully passes that stage.
But initially it was saying something like some features are deactivated after I connected to the internet while using it. I think it was deactivated when I connected to the net. That's why I had to uninstall.
Does the above steps also clear that or what can I do in that case?

I have uninstalled every Microsoft Visual C++ , every corel program , the shell extension, ghostscript pcl, visual studio and everything else I can think of and still get the error. I have manually checkd and rechecked my regrty for any corel app and there are none but still getting the error . Are there any suggstions. I feel that corel has stoppd support for thisversion and is forcing an upgrade.SMH

You rock man. Thankyou so much. It was driving me crazy. I didn’t know they were linked to Corel. Thankyou so much. When it finally installed I see that those files get installed again. Hence why it was saying it was already installed. Thankyou again.
