Yes! In fact I changed the temp location to a ram disk to prevent clutter on my ssd. Do i need to revert back to the usual temp file location? I run my browser etc out of the ram drive, so prefer if I didn't have to do this, but I can live with it to use Publisher (I've been waiting years to move from Calamus!) Looking forward with anticipation to response - thanks!

Dear Affinity, I have been using Affinity Photo and Designer for some time, but the last version I've been able to install was 1.6.5.135. I have purchased Affinity Publisher, but I can't get that to install at all. I'm a self-employed piano teacher, and I need my photo editor software(!) so I haven't had time (or the nerves) to muck around with it until now (end of Financial Year, end of term, exams for students etc). I followed the guide here https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/64511-windows-installation-issues-faq/ and uninstalled the current versions... I ran the Microsoft software prescribed... I tried installing as administrator... But no luck - none of the three programs would install. All of them just quickly quit and said "Setup Failed" So now... now photo editor! (drats!) Please please please advise! I've attached the install logs for publisher... Could it be fonts? I have a few... how can I check? Or something else? I'd really like to be able to use your lovely software! Thanks! Setup.log SetupUI.log

Hi! I'm using Windows 8.1 I'm running Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, both of which run very well (except that font loading takes quite some time). I've been trialing Affinity Publisher (let me know when I can buy it please!), without any major issues. I've so far used most of the beta packages. Unfortunately, the latest version I have (beta-1.7.0.2579) will not install. When I attempt to install it, I get "Setup failed" message. I've read several blogs about this, and I've carried out the following: (1) tidied the registry (2) removed many many fonts! (3) disabled .NET 3.5 Nothings helps... I still get "Setup failed" I would very much appreciate assistance! BTW, I use Designer (hopefully soon Publisher) for several completely unrelated activities (music, cartography, education, book publishing) all of which require a large range of different fonts/typefaces. Affinity takes several minutes sometimes to load (much quicker if I remove the fonts) - and this is from an SSD. My two other publishing programs load in just seconds. Thanks!
