Sounds like the same problem I had. Yes it is junk and no I haven't
tried anything else. It does work for me now, more features than I care
to learn.

Now .. on to a 'possible' solution. The first install screen wil ask you
which drive OS/2 IS ON! The second screen should ask you where to
INSTALL IT! Yes it sucks and is dumb and I have already BTDT. :-)
So first tell it where OS/2 is THEN tell it where to install CorelDraw.

Give it a try and see.
 
P.S. If you can get a refund you might want to try another program.
Like I said CorelDraw does MORE than I need but they are not very
interested in supporting OS/2. Others are.
