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!
If you have had a RAM issue then anything is possible.
Usually 90% of RAM issues I've seen are fixed by gently rubbing the contact with a pencil rubber. It is either residue from manufacturing or slight oxidation of the contacts caused when the metal of the contracts and the RAM slots are different (which is normal).
You can have a RAM error that will only effect some operations that hit a particular point in RAM or a specific type of memory function.
You need to run a RAM test and let it do many passes over night to be sure.

Or better still use http://www.memtest.org/
I've seen this where a computer was unstable but only Norton Anti-virus would not actually run.
Sounds to me like you haven't loaded much on the laptop yet. I'd be guessing that it is one of those damned MS poor practices that you get a laptop with the OS installed and they don't give you a DVD. And if you go a normal DVD it won't take the product code. We should KILL BILL for allowing this. So If I was to say...
Then I'm not really helping. But that is likely what you need to do for a start.

It's not a very common error.

That has the most info.
I agree with trying to set up another administrative account and trying from their. I had an instance where an account corrupted and I could not get into my computer but switching to another account allowed me to.
Also something not mentioned was TRY ANOTHER DISK. I had trouble with a expensive EFI Fiery Printer install - it installed but corrupted within a week, every week for months. Xerox Re-installed a couple times, I a couple times, they replaced hard drive, still did it. Finally they mirrored a hard drive from a known good print server and that worked, at that time they also brought me new disks. Its good it was the second unit I bought from them - had it been the first I would have sent it back - also good they worked through it till it worked - so I would pay for it.
In the Linux world I've seen a few times where they do a verification checksum to make sure a program is correct after download - SMEserver is one. The first part of the install the program verifies its 100% as intended before continuing to install - if software companies did this they could probably get by with 5% fewer technicians.
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.
