After a fresh install, the version shows as 11.0.0.676 (file pdxwin32.exe shows that version and a date of 10 Mar 2010).
The bug is simple, try to print anything in the application and it immediately crashes.
The good news is there is a fix, although it can be difficult to find.
Here is the current location (https://www.wordperfect.com/en/support/updates/#wpo-x5)
It is called "Paradox Hot Fix 1" (or "Paradox Runtime Hot Fix 1" if using the Runtime version).
Note that after installing the patch, the version and date of Paradox does not change - so there is no easy way to tell if the patch is installed other than it no longer crashes on print.
FYI, Corel Paradox (developed by Borland) is available as part of WordPerfect Office Professional 2021 but sadly is not included in the Demo version. There have not been any changes to Paradox itself in many years - the hot fix is dated 2010!
However, I am happy to report it installs fine on Windows 11 Pro (release 22h2).
