Problem with CorelDraw install

[TheSurgeon]

Excuse me plese if this question is off-topic in this group.
I am using XP Pro. (SP2Beta is installed). Recently, I tried to install
CorelDraw12 Trial version. The installation was successful and I was able to
launch CorelDraw. I could even draw and save a simple figure! After a couple
of hours I tried to launch it again but it stated that the software was not
installed properly. I should run setup again. I did... As the installation
process comes to end, it starts to roll back everything and says, that the
software could not be installed. I found an answer to a similar situtation
in Corel's website. According to this, I started msconfig and disabled all
startup processes. Then I rebooted the system and installed the software,
again unsuccessful! I found a previous version of CorelDraw (10) from a
friend and made a trial installation. The same thing happened.
Any comments and suggestions are welcome...

You are using beta version of Windows and asking about a
problem with trial version software from another company
(Corel). Maybe that's why it is still a beta version. You
should have agreed to provide feedback to MS when you
downloaded the SP2 beta, report your problem.

Get rid of the beta SP2 and try again. Beta software is unpredictable at
best. Also in the upcoming final sp2 some companies will have to patch their
software to get it to work correctly.
