Getting CorelDRAW 12 to work with 64-bit Vista

July 13, 2008 | 5:53 pm | Tags: software,vista

This is just a quick tip but I’ve spent like an hour figuring out how to run CorelDRAW 12 in the 64-bit edition of Windows Vista. Every time I ran the ‘setup.exe’ installer on the first CD, I ended up getting an ‘Internal Error 2738’ message. Here’s how to get rid of it:

• Open the Start menu, go to Accessories, right click the Command Prompt icon, and select ‘Run as administrator’.
• Type the following lines:

C:\Windows\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\SysWoW64\vbscript.dll
C:\Windows\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\SysWoW64\jscript.dll

That’s it. I hope this will work for you. Oh, wait, there’s another tip. Stay away from automatic CorelDRAW 12 updates in 64-bit Vista, just stick with the version that came out with the CDs. It will probably slow down the program.
