I also found the solution to my problem which seemed to be identical to yours. My solution was to update my PC to Windows 11. Apparently, something in my Win 10 config had broken. After the update to Win 11 the msix files installed easily. I have about 3 weeks left in the trial period.

Windows 10 Pro, v21H2. I think I have the App Installer installed on my PC. But, when I clicked on your link to the App Store and then clicked on the "Get in Store app" button, I get the attached message. Something has obviously gone bonkers on my PC, but I don't know what to do to fix it. I have downloaded several apps from the App Store in the past with no problems. This is the first problem like this I've had on my PC. Everything else seems to be running smoothly. Thanks for your help!

This solution did NOT work for me. I get the same exact message that I got before the registry edit. The message is attached. What do you mean by "Change your installing type Seriff"?

Thank you for your quick answer. You are correct, it was there all along. It just was not what I expected when the Workbook said "pop-up". I was looking for some type of menu to "pop-up" where I clicked on the item. I've got a lot to learn! Thanks again! WCHettel in Davie, FL, US

Hello, I am a new Affinity Designer user. I just purchased the software and the Workbook also. I'm working my way through the workbook trying to learn to use the Designer. I'm STUCK and could use some help! I am using Affinity Designer v1.10.4.1198 on a Windows 10 v21H2 PC w/ 32GB ram, 512GB SSD C:, and 1TB HD. In the Workbook, Chapter 2 - Core Skills, pg 82, Setting blend mode (on object), step 2, I do not get the blend mode pop-up when I select the layer mentioned. The help screen also says I should get the blend mode pop-up when I select a layer. I have tried resetting my Toolbar, Tools Panel, and Studio Panel to defaults but still no blend mode pop-up. What am I doing wrong or what is not set correctly? Thanks for your help, WCHettel in Davie, FL, US
