The trial versions, are the closest thing to an installer,
but those are removed from virtually all sites by COREL chasing
after people, and you would not expect to find a trial that
works.

Some of the installers use "stub" 1MB web installers, again,
content is only available for as long as the master web
server, serves it.

In effect, Corel wants it this way. Unless you archive
what the web installer collects, in the year of introduction
of the version, you will have nothing to work with later.

That's why virtualizing the hard drive from the old computer
is attractive. Without an installer, all you can do is try and
use the environment it ran in previously.

This is as far as I got, trying to make a picture of what
running Photopaint in a VM would look like. This is CorelDraw suite trial
on Windows 7 trial on Windows 7 Pro licensed. I could not complete
the setup of CorelDraw trial, because it requires an email registration
as a mandatory step, and I doubt Corel would send the appropriate
email to me for a product released in 2011.

I think you can run VirtualBox in full screen mode too, so
it doesn't have to be windowed like that. But I always
run it windowed, for safety.
