CorelDRAW.Application class not registered VBA CorelDRAW

I'm trying to make a program in Excel's VBA editor that interacts with Corel. When I try to run Corel in the COM via this line: Set cdrApp= CreateObject("CorelDRAW.Application")

I get "Runtime error '-2147418113': class not registered"

Here is some more relevant code for context:

Sub mySubroutine(ByRef inArray As Variant)
     Dim cdrApp As CorelDRAW.Application
     
     Set cdrApp = CreateObject("CorelDRAW.Application")

     'Lots of irrelevant code here

End Sub

I'm also receiving a compile error at Dim cdrApp As CorelDRAW.Application "User-defined type not defined." For the time being I've just declared this as an Object as this is a less immediate issue.

My thinking originally was that something was wrong with the library. At first, I just had "Corel - CorelDRAW 24.5 Type Library" selected in my references, but I went into the Corel files and added every single tlb file I could find.

Then I read probably close to 40 discussion posts between the ones on here and on the Corel dev community; tried changing the datatype to As VGCore.Application; tried hacking the CreateObject method by doing CreateObject("", "CorelDRAW.Application"); tried doing Set cdrApp = "CorelDRAW.Application"; tried doing Set cdrApp = New CorelDRAW.Application; Went into the services manager and double checked the progID; As well as few other frugal things.

And, of course, I looked at the API documentation for CorelDRAW '23 24.5.

Thanks for any help.

Edit: Some more things I have tried that didn't work:

Set cdrApp = CreateObject("CorelDRAW.Application.24") Since the CurVer key is that; Double checked the registry to ensure CorelDRAW.Application was registered (Thanks @SimonMourier); Tried reinstalling CorelDRAW, tried running everything on a 2nd PC, reinstalled corel, ensured corel's installation contained the proper settings to enable VBA
