Thanks for your reply's guys. I found the issue and I wonder if some others might experience the same thing.
Yes I always right click and install software as an Administrator but this wasnt the fix.
Actually I gave up trying to update the 3 Affinity softwares. It wasnt until I tried to install something else that I encountered a similar issue. Upon researching I saw that Brother printer software running in the background was causing the problem Once I disabled it, I was able to install the other software and even the Affinity updates.
Damn you Brother and your BS, background / do nothing, software
