Corel Draw Suite X8 install on a Windows 7 system.

I am at my wits end after 2 days of using every trick on this board to install CD X8 Academic on a Windows 7 SP1 system.

1.) Is it no longer supported? (Program purchased 1 week ago)

2.) Using the repair function on on the aborted install (stops at C++ redistributable), it errors saying it has a missing msi file.

c:\programs\corel\coreldraw graphics suite x8\setup\ica_x64.msi

3.) At At this point, icons show up but it still shows an error of of a missing dll if you try to use them.

api-ms-win-crt-runtime.l1-1-0.dll

4.) Does this program support AMD processors? In terms of resources, my computer far exceeds the recommendations.

Any suggestions?
