Working with MSI files

Stored in the Setup folder, the main Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) file for the setup — \x64\MSIs\Setup_x64.msi — contains a database of main features, registry keys, folders, and shortcuts for the software.

The server image contains a copy of the main setup MSI file — the MSI tables within which you can modify for deployment to the workstations.

Various components of the software are stored in additional MSI files. Some of these MSI files are required by the setup, while others represent optional features of the software.

Setup files

Besides Setup_x64.msi, the setup requires an addition MSI file to carry out the installation: x64\ICA_x64.msi.

Language modules

The setup requires at least one language module, MSI files for which are stored at x64\msis (64-bit) on the installation disc. The language modules that are available vary with each edition of the software.

Brazilian Portuguese	BR_x64.msi
Chinese (Simplified)	CS_x64.msi

Russian	RU_x64.msi

Programs

To install the programs included with the software, the setup uses the following MSI files at X:\x64\MSIs on the installation disc.

 

Program	MSI file

Corel Font Manager	FontManager_x64.msi
CorelDRAW	Draw_x64.msi

Features

To install the various components of the software, the setup uses additional MSI files stored at X:\x64\MSIs on the software ISO file or in the \MSIs folder of the server image. These files include the following.

 

Feature	MSI file
Ghostscript general public license, for EPS and PostScript import	Ghostscript_v10.msi
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)	\msis\vba\vba71.msi
Windows Shell Extension	ShellExt.msi

You can exclude optional MSI files from the setup by creating a customized server image. Excluding an MSI file prevents the corresponding feature from being installed.

Local Help

To install local Help for CorelDRAW, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, Corel Font Manager, CAPTURE, and Corel BARCODE WIZARD, the setup uses Documentaton_x64.msi, which is stored at X:\x64\MSIs on the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2024, the software ISO file, or in the \MSIs folder of the server image:

Local Help is installed to the following Help folder on the workstations:
