CorelDRAW X3 is a powerful vector graphics software that was released in 2006. It is still popular among many users who want to create logos, illustrations, web graphics, and more. However, CorelDRAW X3 is not officially compatible with Windows 10, the latest operating system from Microsoft. If you try to install CorelDRAW X3 on Windows 10, you may encounter some problems and errors.
Fortunately, there are some ways to make CorelDRAW X3 work on Windows 10. In this article, we will show you how to install CorelDRAW X3 on Windows 10 using two different methods: the MSI method and the registry method. We will also provide some tips and tricks to optimize your CorelDRAW X3 experience on Windows 10.
The MSI Method
The MSI method is a simple and straightforward way to install CorelDRAW X3 on Windows 10. It involves using the MSI files from the installation CD instead of the automatic installer. Here are the steps to follow:
- Insert the CorelDRAW X3 installation CD into your computer.
- Open File Explorer and navigate to the CD drive.
- Find the folder named CGS13 and open it.
- Click on the Type column to sort the files by type.
- Look for the files that have the .msi extension. These are the MSI files that you need to run.
- Double-click on the file named setup.msi and follow the instructions to install CorelDRAW X3.
- Double-click on the file named en.msi (or another language code if you prefer) and follow the instructions to install the language pack.
- Double-click on the file named vba.msi and follow the instructions to install the Visual Basic for Applications support.
- Double-click on the file named FontNav.msi and follow the instructions to install the Font Navigator utility.
- Do not run the file named ISUS.MSI as it may cause problems with updates.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed CorelDRAW X3 on Windows 10 using the MSI method. You can now create shortcuts to launch CorelDRAW X3 and enjoy its features. However, you may still encounter some issues with compatibility and performance. To fix them, you can try the registry method below.
The Registry Method
The registry method is a more advanced and risky way to install CorelDRAW X3 on Windows 10. It involves editing the Windows registry to grant permissions to certain keys that are required by CorelDRAW X3. This method may fix some of the problems that occur with the MSI method, such as a broken Start menu or Cortana. However, it may also cause other problems or damage your system if done incorrectly. Therefore, we recommend that you backup your registry before proceeding with this method.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Press Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
- Type regedit.exe and click OK to open the Registry Editor.
- Right-click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and select Permissions.
- Click Add and type All Application Packages in the Enter object names box.
- Click Check Names and make sure that All Application Packages is underlined.
- Click OK to add All Application Packages to the list of groups or user names.
- Select All Application Packages and check Read under Allow in the Permissions box.
- Click Apply and OK to save the changes.
You have successfully edited the registry to allow CorelDRAW X3 to run on Windows 10 using the registry method. You can now restart your computer and launch CorelDRAW X3 without any issues. However, you may still need to update your drivers, disable antivirus software, or run CorelDRAW X3 in compatibility mode for optimal performance.
