Installation options

You can choose between the following types of installations:

•	Typical installation — automatically installs the main programs and utilities of the suite to a default location in the Program Files folder. If later you need a component that is not installed, you can modify your installation.

•	Custom installation — lets you choose additional features, exclude components that you don’t need, and specify where to install the suite. For example, you can install desktop shortcuts.

•	Deployment — available only for multiseat purchases. This option lets you create a server image for installing the software to individual workstations. For more information, see the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8 Deployment Guide.
