The Error 2753 the file is not marked for installation is typically encountered when the user tries to install or uninstall certain applications. Most of the time, the error is reported with Adobe applications (Illustrator, Shockwave, Flash Player, etc), but there are also a lot of reported cases with Corel Draw and Pinnacle Studio.
The Error 2753 error is typically encountered when the user tries to use Adobe Shockwave after it was incorrectly installed. The issue is also reported to occur when the user tries to install Shockwave again from the official download page.
A couple of users that encountered the Error 2753 the file is not marked for installation issue when trying to install Corel Draw or a similar program from the same Pinnacle Studio suite have managed to get the issue resolved after resolving a corruption occurence caused by the InstallShield folder.
As it turns out, the error is caused by an incomplete uninstallation of the previous ArcGIS for Desktop version. If this happens, it will leave behind certain files and registry keys that cannot be replaced by the newer ArcGIS version.
