Cannot install 64 bit Microsoft Visio 2013 after uninstalling Office 2010 32 bit

64-bitinstallationmicrosoft-visio-2013uninstall

I have Windows 7 64 bit. Few days ago, I installed 32 bit Microsoft Office and Microsoft Visio 2010.

Later, I wanted now to try Microsoft Visio 2013 64 bit. Hence with Revo Uninstaller Pro and CCleaner I completely removed Microsoft Office and Visio 2010 and restarted my PC.

But now every time i try installing Microsoft Visio 2013 x64, I get the message:

We can't install the 64-bit version of Office because we found the following 32-bit programms on your PC:

  Microsoft Office Visio 2010

Please uninstall all 32-bit Office programs, then retry installing 64-bit Office.

I want to install the 64 bit version (not 32-bit) of Microsoft Visio 2013 but i don't understand why i get the message. I no longer have Microsoft Visio 2010 on my PC. Has anyone experienced the same problem, maybe there is something left in Registry ?

UPDATE:
I was searching all day for a solution, but here on this forum, someone mentioned something about Microsoft Fix It.

So I went to Microsoft Support page here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/de and installed Microsoft Fix It for Office uninstallation issue. After that I restarted my PC and now the problem is gone. Check now here and here
