This issue can happen if you have any version of CoCut installed on your computer prior to installing GreatCut. GreatCut is an OEM package version of CoCut and will conflict with an existing CoCut install, particularly when it comes to the Corel plugin.
- Remove CoCut from your computer.
- Remove the CoCut plugin from CorelDraw. In CorelDraw X3, this folder is located at %ProgramFiles%\Corel\CorelDraw X3\draw\GMS\. Delete the CoCut plugin in this folder.
- Install GreatCut from the CD. If it is already installed, skip to the next step.
- Open the GreatCut folder (%ProgramFiles%\GCC\GreatCut). Launch CorunInstall.exe.
- The installer will automatically detect the installed versions of Corel. Click Install.
- After you have installed the plugin, continue to the bottom of the page for directions on how to make the plugin available from the CorelDraw toolbar.
