We often get asked if the book can be downloaded. No, it is shipped to you on a CD-ROM as the files are much too large for download.

We have found that the installer included on early versions of the book's CD-ROM does not work on some non-English versions of Windows. If you are having problems installing, you can download the new setup program. When you run this file, make sure the CorelDRAW 12 Unleashed CD-ROM is in your drive as you will be asked to select it after starting the setup program. If you have already installed the book successfully, this file is of no use whatsoever.
