<the1sarge> wrote in message news:48880@coreldraw.com... HELP I killed a virus on my computer and then went to open Corel I got the error message, cant find the file setup.msi. My setup disc is missing I have a back up disc and the program cant find Setup.msi. My Corel 3x Suite does not open. Can someone send setup. msi to me and is that a way to correct that problem? Anyone have a solution to this problem, because I cant open my 3x. http://community.coreldraw.com/forums/p/11967/48880.aspx#48880
I'm running XP, IE, and foxfire. Someone sent me an email(thanks) and told me how to download the setup.msi file, which I did and I rebooted my computer. I again tried to open x3 and still got the following msg "The path"CorelDraw Graphics Suite X3 CD-ROMT" cann0t be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package "Setup.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product CorelDraw graphics suite x3."
These questions always smack of "I don't have a legal copy now I'm screwed". Not that this is the case but it does impact willingness to support.
C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 Setup Files
See if there is a folder like that. I can't remember X3 file structure but X4 does that.
In there you should find all the required files.
I purachase my copy at a going out of business sale of compusa. I followed your instructions and found the folder and this is what it says now. "The file "Coreldraw graphics suite x3 setup files\cgs13\setup.msi is not a valid installation package for the product coreldraw graphics suite x3. try to find the installation package "setup.msi" in a folder from which you can install corel draw graphics suite x3" Do you think the virus that I killed could have corrupted the file? Because I could not open IE and other programs. I still cant open thunderbird email.
should be here C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 Setup Files\CGS13
I've seen this with the ATI stuff where you have to click each package to get it to load.
There is seldom quick answers for this stuff, if you are in deep trouble download the X4 trial while you sort it out.
