Recently installed Win7 64bit, and Corel Draw X4 won't install. I just get an error message saying The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows that you're running. I've tried installing in compatibility mode for everything since XP SP2 and no luck. I was running Vista 64bit before and it ran fine.
H,
I beleive it should work to install X4 on Win 7 64 bit.Cant say why it doesnt, but untill there is an answer, if you have at least Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, then turn on the Virtual PC and XP mode, that will enable you to instantly install X4. You can then create a Folder which you can reach from both Virtual PC / XP mode. So for example if you use X4 Photo-Paint or CorelDRAW to scan a image, then place it in that folder. Then if you need it, when not using Virtula PC/XP mode, you reach the folder and scanned images and files easily.
Which win 7 do you have?
Ian,
just in order to confirm the reports of others I have CorelDRAW X4 installed on my Win7 Ultimate 64bit and have no problem with it. I think the problem is somewhere else. However please note that though your Win7 user has admin privileges does not mean that every action is performed with admin rights. This is how Win7's UAC works. In order to install CorelDRAW as administrator you have right click on setup.exe and select "run as administrator" option.

Tomasz,
I am interested in buying CorelDRAW x4, I also own Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Would there be any problems or issues if I am to install it for the first time? I have no previous versions of CDGS and I am a totally new user.
thank you

Just as information to other users who think its just them.
I've been using X4 on a Win7 32bit computer for the last few months without problems (and CorelDraw since v3) , updated it and all. Now installing from the original DVD on a Windows 7 x64 and then tried to upgrading to the latest Service Pack and Hot fix....but it fails. It cant find it or what ever it is.. Tried over and over again. Reinstalled CorelDraw X4 and same result. Corel works.. but the servic pack won't.
X5 is agood idea... unless you just got the X4 less then 1 year ago...
Ok i take back everything i said... ehem.. blush.. "...download updates..." while install? My Perfectly working CorelDraw X4 is ver. 14.0.0.701.... in other word ALREADY updated :-)
The software works... this user.. well thats another story.
Take care, and have nice day every one.
