CorelDRAW Help | Installation options

Installation options

You can choose between the following types of installations:

•

Typical installation — automatically installs the main programs and utilities of the suite to a default location in the Program Files folder. If later you need a component that is not installed, you can modify your installation.

•

Custom installation — lets you choose additional features, exclude components that you don’t need, and specify where to install the suite.

•

Deployment — available only for multiseat purchases. This option lets you create a server image for installing the software to individual workstations. For more information, see the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2018 Deployment Guide.

Programs

The following table lists the programs that are installed by default. To exclude a program from the installation, you must choose Custom installation.

Duplexing Wizard	Lets you configure a printer for two-sided printing	Included with the Typical installation
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications 7.1	A subset of the Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) programming environment, which is suitable for beginners.	You can use VBA to create basic macros for personal use, but you can also use it to create more advanced macro projects.
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA)	A built-in program environment that allows developers and other programming experts to use VSTA for creating the most advanced macro projects	To use VSTA with CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, you must have your own copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 installed. If you install Microsoft Visual Studio after installing CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, you must re-install the VSTA feature by modifying your CorelDRAW Graphics Suite installation. For more information, see To modify or repair a CorelDRAW Graphics Suite installation.
Windows Shell Extension	Lets you view thumbnails of native Corel files such as CorelDRAW (CDR), Corel PHOTO-PAINT (CPT), pattern fill (FILL), and other native file.

It also improves the import of PDF files generated by third-party applications.	Included with the Typical installation
