Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4

Post by Phil47 »

Some long time ago Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4 came packaged with either PSP x3 or x6.
However, it is now on my old PC running Vista.
Is it possible to copy this program and paste it into my new PC?
I ask because the location saying where it is when explored seems to have nothing there but a search in the Search bar can find it and open it ready to use.
Tell the truth....but gently.

Phil.

Only if you have the original installation files containing setup.exe. When you install most programs, they not only set up a folder in C:\Program Files but also usually insert files in the computer Registry and perhaps elsewhere e.g. AppData. And since your old computer runs Vista while I assume your new one does not, this complicates things still further.

That being said, if your new computer runs Windows 10, it is not even certain that Photo Essentials 4 will necessarily work. Only trying to install it will give you an answer to that, unless someone else here with that program has already done it.
