This article provides a brief illustrated walkthrough on how to install EmbroideryStudio e4. It is broken down into 4 sections. First is Prerequisites which is everything you need to get started. Second is EmbroideryStudio e4 installation. Third is CorelDRAW X8 installation. Fourth is installation finalization. This final step is important for EmbroideryStudio and CorelDRAW integration.

At the conclusion of the installation you will be asked to reboot your computer, on restart allow a few seconds for files to be written to the registry and you will then receive a message to say the installation has been successful.

If a free update is available you will receive a message giving you the opportunity to update the software. You must be connected to the internet and if you answer yes the update will happen automatically for you.

First I need to say that this blog is not a technical manual or a set of instructions, rather it has been my experience installing and using Windows (Vista and 7), EmbroideryStudio (2 &3) and CorelDRAW (X5 & x6) in my MacBook PRO, if you are looking for that type of information, there are a few documents mentioned at the end this doc, and hundreds on the web.

Boot Camp is a technology that allows booting your Mac in different operating systems, and the Assistant will guide you to convert a portion of your Mac into a full Windows PC environment; by partitioning the hard drive, installing Windows (or other OS) on that partition and use the Mac hardware as a PC taking advantage of the Intel chipsets. To use this option you have to re-boot your Mac every time you want to use Windows.

Virtualization is the ability to run Windows programs within Mac OS without the need of rebooting, you are able to run EmbroideryStudio (or DecoStudio) along with CorelDRAW in a Mac and also be able to share all the Mac services (printing, network, exchange of files, etc.). As far as I know there are 4 companies that have Virtualization products: Parallels, VMware Fusion, Oracle and True Crypt.

Both installations of the commercial virtualization products available (Fusion and Parallels) are easy and clear, and you are going to follow similar steps as with the installation of Boot Camp, you will need your Windows Install disk and Product key and be connected to the internet, but the size of the virtual disk partition (the space you will allocate to install Windows) is not as important as in Boot Camp and it is quite easy to resize it in the future.

If you have trouble with your partitions, or if you need to resize the ones you setup, one of the best Apps out there is iPartition, it is easy to understand and all the processes are done within a graphic environment, and for most of the processes they have non-destructive resizing and moving.
