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?

As I mentioned in my previous reply. the RAM problem has now been fixed, so that can be ruled out.
Don't understand your reference to laptop. See my reply above.
I've actually run a repair/reinstall of Windows 7 64-bit and there has been no change to the problem.
Because the program installs OK from the same disk onto my XP 32 bit laptop I think the disk must be OK.
The google.com link you posted takes me to a page that I cannot understand and haven't got the time to understand. The second link relates to Windows Vista service pack2, which has nothing to do with what I'm doing.
As a test, I downloaded the trial version of Corel Suite X5 and tried installing that. I got the same error message in the same places when trying to install that.
The thing that gets me is, if this software is so clever that it knows the "file is not marked for installation," then why the heck doesn't it mark the thing for installation? I have never had so many problems with a piece of software as I am having trying to do a simple install of this X4 suite.
The file might be locked so it can't be over written. See if it exists and then delete it is it does.
As you can see from Google the issue is reasonably unique. If you have a DVD for Win 7 then reformat the drive and start again as a last call. Most computers that are supplied with Windows installed don't come with as DVD.
You can just say 'the RAM has been replaced and therefore it is OK' unless you have run a memory test. You can't make any assumptions at all.
Win 7 SP1 came out this week. So everyone should be loading that too.
Hi,
Goto www.download.com
and download :--
ccleaner
astrologic defrag
