When CorelConfig tries to find the name of the last used workspace it returns a invalid name. Usually this is caused by the fact CorelDRAW® has not been installed yet OR CorelDRAW® was installed but had not been run for the first time. CorelDRAW® does not create the default workspace until it is run for the first time. To resolve the issue, install CorelDRAW® and run it at least once, then run the EngravePro setup.

You do not have sufficient administrative privileges on the machine you are installing EngravePro on.Using My Computer or Explorer navigate to the windows install directory, usually this is c:\winnt\installer or c:\windows\installer. If you cannot find the Installer folder it may be hidden on the system, in which case you can unhide it by going to Tools->Folder Options from Windows Explorer. Then, choose the View tab, and choose the "Show hidden files and folders" radio button under Files and Folders\Hidden files and folders.

Once this is done, right-click the Installer folder, and choose properties. Go to the Security tab, and make sure that the system as well as the user name trying to run the installation has full control on this folder.

Now run the EngravePro setup again.

Go into Control Panel and double click the System icon. Select the Advanced tab and click on the "Settings" button in the "Performance" section. Uncheck the "Smooth edges of screen fonts" option. The font will no longer be anti-aliased.

First if the EngravePro menu is in fact in CorelDRAW but is greyed out or unresponsive if you click any of the menu items then more than likely Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed. To see if VBA is installed you can click the tools menu, click Options, then find VBA under the workspace heading along the left hand side of the dialog box. If you are unable to locate the VBA heading or it is greyed out or it tells you it is not installed then it is not installed and you must rerun the CorelDRAW installation. Note that CorelDRAW no longer ships VBA with OEM or academic versions of CorelDRAW. If you have one of these versions you will be required to upgrade to a full retail version in order to utilize EngravePro from within CorelDRAW.

In some cases (for unknown reasons) EngravePro is unable to properly install itself in the menu bar in CorelDRAW. Re-run the installation to remove EngravePro and restore your workspace. Re-install EngravePro but when asked if you want to overwrite your workspace click "No". After installation completes follow the "Manual Installation" instructions above.
