We still have a Windows 3.1 Workstation on our network and
now I have to reinstall the old CorelDraw 4.0.

I have some questions.

I erased the folders we once had on the network for CD4.
Now I want to reinstall it to the network so that it can be
installed from the network to the old workstation. In this
day of the web, I hoped to find a document that describes
the "proper" method for a network install. Is such a
document available or are there some simple steps that you
can recommend? for example, should I just copy the Disk to
a folder and run setup from there?

I can only find one set of CorelDraw disks. So I don't know
if it's the original or the updated set that Corel sent us
years ago. How can I tell?

If they're the original disks, are updates still available?
Can they be downloaded?

Thanks for your help. I've forgotten how to do all these
old things.

The latest would be a plain silver disk saying "Rev C patch", and the disk
lable as seen in Explorer [Program Manager] would be "DRAW4C_UPG". Sounds like
you probably have the initial release, which was practically unusable in many
respects. :(

There are no downloadable patches available. Draw 4 predates that custom.

I'm afraid you're on your own for network installation--it was supported only
by direct contact with Corel Tech Support over the phone, with the user having
purchased a network license. And all support other than in these newsgroups
was dropped years ago.

Time to upgrade?

After doing a deeper search, I found the Rev C disk. Since
we only have one workstation that needs to run with it, I've
just copied it to a folder on the network hoping I can run a
normal setup from there.
