Recently I got Corel Draw 2.5 CDROM (OS/2 Version). Its set-up program is the
worst nightmare I ever imagined. It is supposed to ask you about a drive to install,
and a installation options menu (Minimum for OS/2 apps and Full for OS/2 and
Win apps).

The problem is after entering the Corel Draw's path the installation "program"
skips the second menu and starts installing everything (even the Windoze apps).
The worst part comes now: When the installation is almost done (95 %), I get a
"severe error" saying that the program can't open "corelcht.ini" (from
CorelChart, a WinBLOWS app), and exits without ending the installation.

I tried to install from a Win-OS/2 session, tried to install it on C (where Windows
is located), tried to copy the corelcht.ini included in the CD-Rom to the Windows
directory, and anything worked.

Any help?
