@DWright I was able to successfully download the Beta version that @walt.farrell linked to and install the program, but the official release still has problems. I'm thinking however that this - and the certificate issue - are Windows Defender or anti-virus issues, because when I downloaded and ran the Beta It dawned on me that the download from Serif triggered a "Windows protected your computer" security popup. When accessing the site from a MAC ( on Firefox ) I don't get the security warning either. I may try disabling some of my defenses and trying again.

Hello, I purchased the products directly from Serif, yes both are failing, and downloading from my account has the same issue. The certificate issue shows up on https://affinity.serif.com/store/ Bypassing the security warning allows me to login and try to download the files, but results in the same error.

Hello, Try as I might, I cannot get the 1.8 update `.exe` file to download correctly. Every time it is smaller than 515.7MB and the installer won't run. I have a 1.7.x version of both Designer and Photo already installed that work fine, but I cannot update. To add to this, Firefox reports a `SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER` certificate error when trying to access even the public ( ie. not logged in ) site. I have tried every browser: Chrome Version 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit) Firefox Version 74.0 (64bit) Edge Version 44.18362.449.0 My system specs are: Window 10 Home Version 1903 Build 18362.720 System Type 64-bit operating system x64-based processor Processor Inter Core i7-2600 This is a rather frustrating situation and none of the forum posts that concern not being able to install version 1.8.x have helped, as my issue is that the executable never downloads correctly. Thank you for your time.
