I've been trying to install CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 under Win 7 64-bit.
Part way through the install I get an error message that says "The file "propschemareg64.exe" is not marked for installation" (in two places), and at the end "Fatal error during installation". The install process tells me it is actually installing to the /programs/x86 directory, which is for 32-bit programs, so I assume that is correct..
I contacted Corel support and they simply say "X4 is not supported under windows 7" and that's it. No further help.
I previously had this program running under Windows XP (32-bit) but I recently updated my computer to Win 7 64-bit..
I've successfully installed my earlier CorelDRAW Essentials (v9) in Win 7, and for the time being this will suit me. However, I have a number of X4 files that I need to work on and v9 will not allow me to open them. Does anyone know of a way of fooling with the X4 files so that I can import them into v9?
Alternatively, can anyone help with making X4 Suite run under Windows7 64-bit? In particular, the specific install error message I am getting?
Clear all temp files, reboot and try again.
It's never been mentioned before as an issue so it is unique to you.
How do I clear Temp files?
I've tried this install several times with the same result.
I contacted Corel support about it before christmas and they suggested trying a couple of things, but I had to give it up due to lack of time. At the time I was having a problem with my computers RAM and I thought that might be related. I've now got the RAM sorted out so I'm back on the case.
When I contacted Corel support this time I got the reply "X4 is not supported by Windows 7" and nothing else. Why did they help me before christmas and nothing now? Just trying to sell the upgrade to X5 I guess. Why does v9 run OK? v9 will do what I need but I need to open some v14 files and v9 won't allow me to import them.
To clean out the Temp directory, click on the Start icon, and then on "Run...". In the Run dialog box, enter '%temp%' (without the quote signs) and click OK. This will bring up Windows Explorer, pointing to the system Temp directory. Delete as many files and sub-directories as possible (Windows will not allow you to delete any active temp file/directory). Then empty your trash-can.
You can try to run the X4 install as compatible mode of Windows XP.
Hello Brian G: If It will help, You can email me the files and I'll send them back in ver. 9

That's very kind of you to offer George, but I'm going to try installing the X4 suite onto my laptop (running XP) and see if I can access them that way.
I know that once I've opened them I have the option to re-save them in a different (earlier) format.
There are only a couple of files I need soon, but I'm not sure how many v14 format I have in total.
