When trying to open cdr file on Corel Draw, the following message appears: 

Product installation unsuccessful, please reinstall (Error 38).

Anyone else having this issue?

My boss had that issue some time back - google found this article and it fixed it. Maybe it will help you as well.

The problem is caused by the service called:  "Protexis Licensing V2 service"

All you need to do is enable that service before opening coreldraw. All you have to do isSTART>;RUN>;services.msc OR

Right click My computer; select manage ; in the tree view, select services and applications, then expand hirachy select services

find the name with Protexis Licensing V2 and start that service. Change to automatic.

Thats all now you are done. No more installation error.

Reboot
