X6 Install window?

[Colin]

At the end of installing my X6 upgrade, I got this window. What are "content and extras"?

 

[GAC05]

My guess - fonts and clipart - maybe sample photostock stuff.

Hmmm. Do you think it would actually install fonts on my system?

Would you recommend I click Yes, or No?

 

[GAC05]

If you are at the end of the install I am pretty sure it already has.
I'd click yes under normal circumstances.
Right now I am in the middle of a large project and have not even downloaded the demo.
Call me cautious (or superstitious) but I'm not installing or removing anything on my production system until the last print is on the cutting table.

Done. It did bring up a second window with options on what you'd like to install. It's all just saved in a separate "content" folder.

Upon opening X6 for the first time, I got a window with an offer for downloading the "Corel Website Creator" (239 MB). Know anything about this software?

 

[GAC05]

I don't know anything about that one.
Most of those bundled apps are not written by Corel and are just bought up and re -branded into their line up. It's $49.00 on their product page - I'd pass.

I'm curious about it for my purposes. Unfortunately it asked me for the serial number upon attempted installation, but none was provided.




On another topic, colors are displaying very differently in X6. Attached are the settings I had in X5, and what the default is in X6. Any suggestions? (Both could be not what I actually should have 'em set at - I'm all ears).

WELL if you want everyone to hold your hand over a simple software download, the program launches when you have VERDANA font loaded with the software, which should load automatically with a registered version, If it doesn't load, install VERDANA,

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. I have had Verdana installed since new.

I am also very confused by this response. Seems totally out of left field.

The serial number it is looking for is the SAME one you used for installing X6.

Ok, thanks, I'll try that.

I also noticed that X6 installed itself to: "C: Program Files", as opposed to "Program Files (x86)" like X5 did.

X5 is a 32 bit program - so it installs in "Program Files (x86)"
X6 is a 64 bit program - so it installs in "Program Files"

Ahh, ok, thanks.

The serial number from CorelDraw X6 worked for the Corel Website Creator - cheers!
