You absolute unit if a human! It was the permissions. I am the only person who uses my PC there for it only has 1 account and it is an administrator, so I never thought that it would be permissions. Turns out my Temp file for some dumb reason didn't have my account set as the administrator... No idea what that was about, kinda sketchy if you ask me lol. But the install is going through as I type this! For future reference: I went to >"C:\Users\"Username"\AppData\Local" > Right clicked on the temp folder, > Click Properties, > Go to security tab, > Click Edit, click Add, Advanced..., > Find now, Search for your account name. > Click okay *******Problem solved. *********

All these issues happen after the install. I am not even reaching that far. some of the fixes i've read through her require you to make changes in the program settings, which I have no access too.

Thanks for the assistance Dan, I've tried this before But tried it again just now and still nothing as you can see from the image below.

Okay so i've done both of these ( cleared temp files, and used the installer from my bro's PC), and I built both PCs from scratch and they are almost identical. only difference is My PC has a GTX 1070 and the other has a GTX 750 ti. So yea, im at a loss again as to what could be causing this issue. Might need to do a OS reinstall or something, sigh.

okay thanks, I will give that a try.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I've tried redownloading several times, I will try my brothers download and see if that makes a difference tho. As for the temp files, do you mean like just clearing ALL the temp files in that location or in the "C:\windows\temp"?

So I really want to get into graphics design, And I really wanna purchase affinity. Decided to download and install the Trial only to be stopped by an error "fail to start setup. please contact technical support". I've been digging through all these different threads with fixes but nothing seems to work. 1. Updated all drivers, windows and graphics drivers. 2. Tried changing the color profiles. 3. Restarted several times. 4. Tried installing older versions 5. Virus and malware scans My brother tried downloading the software a few days before me and it worked without issue. For some reason I don't have the SetupUI.log files. they just don't generate. Im hoping someone could help me asap. below is the only file in the file location. Really looking forward to using this program. Setup.log

Hmm, this is the only log folder in this location.

Good day, I've been trying to install Affinity Design trial for the first time since yesterday, I've been reading through the threads and haven't found a solution yet. Restarted several times as well. I've provided the setup log below. Any assistance will be appreciated. Setup.log
