Introduction 1

To access the Readme

1 In sert CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 Disc 1 into the CD drive.

2 On the Win dows taskbar, click Start } Run.

3 Ty p e X:\English\Readme.html, where X is the let ter that cor re sponds to the CD drive.

The Readme can also be accessed from the Autorun screen.
Readme files for other available languages can be accessed from their respective language

folders on Disc 1.

Security rights needed to install

The setup is designed to allow only users with administrator rights to install to a server location or to a
workstation.

Administrator rights are specific to the workstation. To run the administrator setup or the workstation
install of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12, you must be a member of the domain administrator group
for the domain you are managing or be a local administrator.

These are important points to remember when pushing the installation to a workstation.

Some versions of Windows systems have the ability to change the credentials of a user to an
administrator and launch the setup. Problems occur with this type of installation, since it does not give
permissions that are necessary to run the setup successfully. To have a successful install, it is
recommended that you give local administrator rights to each user.

Installation files

During installation, a series of files are referenced to accomplish specific functions. These files include:

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12.msi

This file can be found at the root of the CD. The file contains all of the required setup components and
registry keys. It also defines directories and shortcuts that need to be installed. You cannot use this file
to start the setup or to modify the setup after install.

IsScript.msi

This file is a database that InstallShield® uses to add its setup engines to the operating system.
InstallShield can then run the setup and use its features.

Instmsiw.exe

This file updates the Microsoft Windows Installer on the workstation if Windows Installer is earlier
than version 2. This file is designed for Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional.

Administrator files

Two scripts are available on the CD in the Setup\Administrator directory:

 Corel Graphics Suite 12 [LANG].sms — located in the Administrator subfolder for each

available language, it is used with Microsoft Systems Management Server. For more information, see
"Systems Management Server" on page 18.

 Corel Graphics Suite 12.zap –– located in the Setup folder, it is used with IntelliMirror®. For

more information, see "IntelliMirror" on page 20.

Introduction 2

LanguagesAvailable.txt

This file, found in the Setup folder of the network image, is used to activate available languages during
the workstation install. It is a simple text file that lists which languages can be found in the Setup user
interface.

MST files

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 provides a language transformation (MST) file for each available
language. Each language's MST file is stored in the Administrator subfolder of that language's folder
on CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 Disc 1.

These transformation files specify the UI language strings to display both during the setup and within
the operating system following installation. For more information on how these files are used, see
"Dynamic language switching" on page 13.

One language in each SKU is the default language and does not require an MST file:

 Multilingual –– English is the default language; all other languages have an MST file in their

respective Administrator subfolders.

 ES/BR –– Spanish is the default language.
 FR/IT/NL –– French is the default language.

Single language SKUs do not require an MST file.

Product updates

Corel® Update is an automatic feature that notifies users of updates to CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12,
downloads the updates, and installs them. Corel Update operates via the Web, so it requires an Internet
connection.

Although it is the default for Corel Update to run automatically when you start CorelDRAW Graphics
Suite 12, you can set how often Corel Update checks for updates through the Start menu. If you prefer,
you can disable Corel Update altogether by choosing to never check for updates.

Corel Update is not available on workstations running from a network.

Corel Update uses standard HTTP calls.

Customized splash screens

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 has a new feature that lets you customize the splash screens for its main
applications. For more information on implementing this feature, contact Corel Corporation.

Installing to a server 2

About the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 CDs

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 Disc 1 contains all installation and program files. These files are
compressed. Simply copying the files from the CD to a network does not constitute a valid
administrator installation.

After successfully completing the network administrator installation, you can use it to run work sta tion
in stal la tions and pro gram files or to run program files from the server.

The remaining CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 CDs contain extra content.

Choosing a type of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 installation

You can install CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 so that it runs from either the user’s local hard disk or
from the server. Installing CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 to local hard disks may not be possible
where hard disk space is limited. You can also control the size of the installs by doing a custom install
and removing applications that may be unnecessary.

Supported server operating systems

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 is not supported on all server operating systems. The following server
operating systems are supported:

 Novell® 4
 Novell 5
 Novell 6
 Windows 2000 Server with SP4
 Windows 2000 Advanced Server with SP4
 Windows 2003 Server
 Windows 2000/2003 Terminal Server

General information and recommendations for network installation

 Run instmsiw.exe on every workstation to up date the in staller in for ma tion. On ear lier op er at ing

sys tems, this may re duce ad min is tra tion dur ing the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 in stal la tion.

 Ensure that the network file system you are using is NTFS or a Novell file system. FAT and FAT32

are not supported.

 Choose a server folder that users have read-only access to.
 Choose a server location that has enough free space. Approximately 950 MB of space is required for

the network installation of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 with four languages.

 The installer now supports MSI native installer functionality using CorelDRAW Graphics Suite

12.msi.

 Make sure that the network operating system is using the latest available service release and security

patches.

 You must have administrator privileges to use the network setup.
 Limit the installation path to 40 characters during a "run from network" installation.
 To change the server location of the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 server image, you must use the

network installation program to create a valid administrator installation in the new server location.

Installing to a server 5

 When designating the network location for your server image, you must use a valid path. You can

map drives to a network location or to a UNC path; however, a UNC path must be entered in the
path, since you cannot browse to server locations using the installation program.

 When you begin an administrator install, be advised that the process of checking rights on the

server is lengthy. Also, be aware that the copying process begins by copying the root files first, after
all the files in the MSI table displayed in the progress bar are copied to the server share.

To run the network setup program using setup.exe

1 In sert CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 Disc 1 into the CD drive.

If the Autorun screen opens, click Exit.

2 On the Win dows taskbar, click Start } Run.

3 Ty p e X:\setup.exe /a, where X is the letter that corresponds to the CD drive.

4 In the License agreement dialog box, read the license agreement in its entirety. To agree to its

terms and continue the installation process, enable the I accept the terms in the license
agreement option and click Next.

If you do not want to accept the terms in the license agreement, enable the I do not accept the
terms in the license agreement option and click Next. This will end the setup.

5 In the Cus tomer in for ma tion di a log box, en ter your user name, com pany name and se rial num ber,

and click Next.
If you want, you can click Release notes for information about the product.

6 In the Network location di a log box, click Change, type a valid server path in the Network

location box, and click OK.

7 Click In stall to be gin copy ing the files to the server.

Using the XML-based workspace feature

In CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12, workspace-layout information for each application (CorelDRAW,
Corel PHOTO-PAINT, Corel R.A.V.E., and CorelTRACE) is saved to XML files. When you perform an
administrator install, the default XML files are installed to the application subfolders of the Corel
Graphics 12/Languages/[LANG]/Workspace folder(s) for the langague(s) you've chosen to install.
For more information on the workspace folders and files for each application, see the subsections that
follow.

Because workspace-layout information is saved in XML files, this information can be easily tweaked,
either by making the changes from within the application or by directly editing the text in the XML
files.

Using the XML files

When a user configures a CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 workspace, the corresponding XML file(s) for
that application are saved to the user's profile, and it's these customized XML files that are accessed by
the applications for that user from then on. As a result, should network administrators wish to push a
customized workspace to the workstations, they must edit the corresponding XML files in the Corel
Graphics 12/Languages/[LANG]/Workspace subfolders of the administrator image. These
customized workspace XML files are then installed when the application is pushed from the
administrator image to the user profiles, where they are stored as the defaults in the Corel Graphics
12/Languages/[LANG]/Workspace subfolders in the user profiles. Any changes that the user makes

Installing to a server 6

to the workspaces are then recorded in copies of these XML files in the user's profile, such that the
default workspaces retain the administrator's customized settings.

Alternatively, the administrator can install the custom workspaces to the workstations by
replacing the XML files installed to the workstations with their customized counterparts.

Because the application saves workspace changes to the XML files, administrators may find it
easiest to make workspace changes from within the application(s), and then distribute the
resulting XML files.

Understanding the XML files

The XML files consist of seven sections:

 application information –– identifies the application to which the file belongs
 item –– defines all the items that appear in the menus and toolbars
 commandBar –– defines the content of all the menus and toolbars, as well as the status bar
 customizationList –– defines all the items that can be customized on the command bars. This list

cannot be modified from within the application; if any changes need to be made, the administrator
can modify the list in the XML file directly.

 shortcutKey –– defines all the shortcut keys and the items to which they're associated
 modifierKey –– defines all the modifier keys
 frame –– defines the layout of the application, including the dockers and command bars

The XML entries contain Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs). A GUID is a 128-bit integer (16
bytes) that uniquely identifies an object, so that it is highly unlikely to be duplicated. These GUIDs are
used to identify various user-interface objects in the system.

For example, a command bar is comprised of a list of items in which each item is identified by its own
GUID. When the item order is changed, these entries are simply reordered; if an item is added, a new
item entry with its GUID is added.

Reference: CorelDRAW workspaces

The default CorelDRAW 12 workspaces install to Corel Graphics
12/Languages/[LANG]/Workspace/CorelDRAW12. This folder contains subfolders for the three

default workspaces:

 _BootDefault –– belonging to the default CorelDRAW 12 workspace, this folder contains three

editable files:

 CorelDraw.ini –– contains a few basic application settings

 DrawUIConfig.xml –– contains the workspace settings for the main application
