Installation Guide
Corel® Painter® Installation Guide
The Corel® Painter® Installation Guide documents installation options so
system administrators can carry out an unattended (or silent) installation
and specify custom settings, such as installation folder, serial number, and
more.
Corel Painter X3 supports Setup.exe command lines. Each sample
command line provides an example of Setup.exe command lines, which
should meet your installation requirements.
Preparing for the installation
In preparation for the installation, you need to verify the version of .NET
Framework you have installed.
Verifying the .NET Framework version
You must have .NET Framework 4.5 or later installed before you can install
Corel Painter X3. If you’re installing from a CD, .NET Framework 4.5 is
included in the installation package. If you’re using electronic software
distribution (ESD), you must ensure that you have .NET Framework 4.5 or
later installed. If you don’t, you can download .NET Framework from
http://www.microsoft.com/download.
Running the full installer
You can run the full installer (Setup.exe) to install Corel Painter X3 with
the user interface (UI) visible for an attended installation, or without any
UI for a silent installation.
Accessing Help during the installation
You can access Help for the setup using either /? or /help.
Performing a silent installation
The /q switch can be used to perform “silent installations” to restrict the
amount of the user interface (UI) that appears during installation.
Parameters
You can specify one of the following parameters for the /q switch. The
default parameter for
Parameter Effect
n
No UI whatsoever. Errors are logged in a file that you
can control by using /l. This is the default parameter.
/q is n.
Installation Guide 1
Parameter Effect
r Reduced UI: A progress bar, along with a page containing
information about the installation.
b
Basic UI: The user sees only a progress bar.
Installing with a pre-defined serial number
To install with a serial number, use the following command for 64-bit and
32-bit:
x:\x64\
or
x:\x86\
SERIALNUMBER
syntax xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. Public properties, such as
are case-sensitive and must be typed in capital letters. For example:
SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LN-K3UJ
The serial number specified by SERIALNUMBER must be valid. If it isn’t, the
silent installation continues, but Corel Painter X3 will start up in trial
mode, as if no serial number had been entered. The validation failure is
logged by Windows Installer.
If you’ve entered a serial number incorrectly and Corel Painter X3 is in trial
mode, click the Enter Serial Number button and type your serial number.
Setup.exe /qn SERIALNUMBER=<valid serial number>
Setup.exe /qn SERIALNUMBER=<valid serial number>
is a property that defines the serial number that uses the
SERIALNUMBER,
Installing at a user-defined location
The default location for installation is the path Program
Files\Corel\Painter13, but you can use the
to install the software at a specific location on the workstations. The value
for this property is the desired installation path. If there are spaces in the
path, you must enclose the path in quotation marks. Here’s the commandline syntax for 64-bit and 32-bit (which also shows a silent installation):
x:\x64\
INSTALLDIR="C:\Custom_Install_Path"
Setup.exe /qn
SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LN-K3UJ
or
x:\x86\
INSTALLDIR="C:\Custom_Install_Path"
Setup.exe /qn
SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LN-K3UJ
When using the INSTALLDIR property in a msiexec installation, the path
cannot end with a backslash (/).

You can request the creation of logs at a specified location using the /l
switch with various modifiers. The default parameters for the

Appends to existing log file
Flushes each line to the log
information in a single log file

Location and filename of log file
Can be used in place of /l*
The /l switch can take an additional parameter: the location and filename
of the log file. Type
/l followed by a space; followed by an opening
quotation mark, the path to the log file, the filename of the log file, and a
closing quotation mark. Here’s the command-line syntax for 64-bit and
32-bit (where
x:\x64\
"Log_file"
Installation Guide 3
log_file is the location and filename of the log file):
Setup.exe /l
SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LN-K3UJ
or
x:\x86\
"Log_file"
Setup.exe /l
SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LN-K3UJ
If you do not specify a path and filename, the log file is created in the
current user’s Temp folder.
Syntax
The following sample command line uses the default parameters of the
/l switch to log information in the file C:\Logs\My_Log.txt during
installation (for 64-bit and 32-bit):
x:\x64\
"C:\Logs\My_Log.txt"
Setup.exe /l
SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LN-K3UJ
or
x:\x86\
"C:\Logs\My_Log.txt"
Using the /qn switch with /l
Setup.exe /l
SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LN-K3UJ
You can use the /qn and /l switches together. The following sample
command line uses
/qn to suppress the user interface during installation
and record errors in the specified log file (for 64-bit and 32-bit):
x:\x64\
"C:\Logs\My_Log.txt"
Setup.exe /qn
SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LN-K3UJ
/l
or
x:\x86\
"C:\Logs\My_Log.txt"
Combining command line elements
Setup.exe /qn
SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LN-K3UJ
/l
You can combine command line elements, such as properties, switches, and
parameters. The following sample command line shows a silent installation
from a UNC path (rather than a normal map drive) with a predefined serial
number. The command line also shows installation to a custom path and
the creation of a log file to a specified folder for 64-bit and 32-bit.
"\\PathTo\x64\Setup.exe" /qn SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LNK3UJ INSTALLDIR= "C:\Custom_Install_Path" /l
"C:\Logs\My_Log.txt"
or
"\\PathTo\x86\Setup.exe" /qn SERIALNUMBER=YK93-DY87-V3LNK3UJ INSTALLDIR= "C:\Custom_Install_Path" /l
"C:\Logs\My_Log.txt"

Repairing the software
You can use the command-line switch /f to repair the software. When
using the command-line switch
parameters for
/f are oums.
Here’s the command-line syntax for 64-bit and 32-bit:
/f, you must also use /qn. The default
