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?
I had the same problem. This is how I fixed it.
Create a new administrator user account. Log off and then log on using the new account. Install Coral X4. That is it!
When you say "the same problem", do you mean the same error message ( "The file "propschemareg64.exe" is not marked for installation" ) or a general installation error?
This is (was) a newly built system and I am the sole user/administrator. I cannot see how a new administrator account can affect the installation of a single file from a suite of thousands. I have been very busy and I haven't had time to deal with this problem. Corel support say I should call their support line and talk directly with them, but I just haven't had the time to do that yet, and I've found a way to work around the problem of accessing my v14 files (see below).
I originally had a RAM problem but the faulty RAM has now been replaced, so that can be ruled out.
In order to access my X4 files I've installed the X4 suite on my laptop (running XP 32-bit), where it installed without problems.This rules out any possibility of the X4 Suite disk being faulty. Using the laptop I have been able to access my Corel 14 files and then re-save them in v9 format, so I can now open them in my earlier Corel version 9, which runs fine on my 64-bit W7 desktop system.

CHEAT
Grab the file and put it where it should be and then reload.
