As John Jordan has previously posted, the secret to a successful Corel Draw 9 installation in Crossover is to place it in a Win2000 bottle. The installer has a problem in a Win98 bottle as John described. I have had successful installs with Crossover 6.0 and 6.1, but have done only some minimal operations with the application. My wife has used the latest install in Crossover 6.2 to create a graphic and had no anomalies.

There are a few "glitches" in the install. Corel attempts to modify three .dll's during the install and either can't find them in the Crossover "system" folder or can't gain access. It provides an option to ignore this operation, and the install proceeds. The application works fine after installation in both Draw and Paint, so it appears the .dll's are either not needed or work fine without modification. I have not made note of these and investigated further into the "system" folder to see if these are missing and what effect copying them over from a Windows install would have. The application works, and I've left it at that. I also discovered one other anomaly during install. Corel attempts to register the application during the install. I declined registration (our Corel was registered a long time ago and didn't need it again), and upon declining, Corel attempts to put a nagging reminder into system startup to provide a reminder in two weeks. This action fails. However, the install finishes ok despite this, and, again, the application works fine.

Based on the minor install anomalies and the fact we have not tested this install extensively, I'm reluctant at this time to call this a "Gold" performance, although I believe it goes beyond the "Silver" classification. The performance of Corel Draw 9 does appear to be another success for Crossover.
