I downloaded CGS X3 trial version from Corel Web Site, and tried to install it to my new laptop with Windows Vista pre-installed. The installation seems okay, but never get a chance to get the program running! After double click the shortcut on desktop, the loading screen pop up then another message pop up says somethings like: "Installation incomplete, please re-install the program"
Tried to uninstall the whole suite and re-install it again, but no luck. Does anyone of you has the same problem, or any idea why this happen? Please help. I'm a newbie to Corel Draw...Thanks for your help in advance

I just purchased CorelDraw X3 for my new HP Pavilion dv9000 with vista home premium and it won't install at all. The only reason I bought it was to replace Microsoft PhotoDraw which came with Office 2000. I loved that program and hated to let it go, but it wouldn't work on vista either. If you come up with any solutions, please let me know; otherwise, I guess I'll have to call the retailer where I bought it and try to get my money back. The fact that the stated minimum system requirements includes Vista does not say much for the marketing department.

I will describe the steps and results:
1. I insert the CD ROM and get message asking if I want to install or run the installation program. I click to install.
2. I get the CorelDraw X3 welcome splash. I click "install CorelDraw"
3. I get message "a program needs your permission to continue." I click continue.
4. I select English for the language. Then OK.
5. It starts the windows installer. Then I get message: "Windows installer has stopped working." Then... another message: "Send info. to Microsoft?"
The process generated the following installation logs:

I would highly recommend that you contact the Corel technical support (all the details under http://www.corel.com/contactus). CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 (with Service Pack 2) has been fully tested on Windows Vista (it is what Microsoft calls "Certified for Windows Vista"). Please make sure that you have no other software running while installing CorelDRAW Graphics Suite on your computer, especially certain anti-virus software that have a bad tendency to cause problems with installations.

I have resolved the installation problem. After talking with a CorelDraw tech who felt that it must be a corrupt CD, I decided to try one more thing before sending it back for a new set of disks. I deactivated Norton Virus Protection. Viola. That was the problem. Everything installed with no problem.
