The day before yesterday I posted the path to the exe file that I found worked in IrfanView, yesterday I replied to someone and suggested they try it, they replied and said it hadn't worked. I went to reply to explain why it wouldn't work in all cases and what to do, and found my maximum posts HAD BEEN LIMITED TO ONE A DAY. Yesterday Affinity's suggested paths were updated from what they were, to the same as what I had posted the day before. So what did I do wrong to have my posts limited, my disappointment has been expressed quite mildly compared to some others, and at least I tried to come up with constructive ideas. I do agree with others that going down the app route is not being ahead of the game, it is a huge step backwards in desirability, the only people being impressed is MS in their quest to tighten up windows and monetise it. I also agree with the comments that it is Serif's problem, as they made the choice of installation method. And their hands are not tied, as they could very quickly (in minutes) create a photo2.exe file that does the same as the bat file previously mentioned, and that file could be placed in an affinity folder in the programme files folder which other programmes could then use as if the programme was installed properly as a programme. It would require thorough testing on average machines to ensure all permissions/ownership requirements were met. However, the best and most logical solution, which may just restore peoples trust and confidence, would be to re-package the application as a proper programme install, and give people the option to use either. That would also enable Serif which option is best for their business. As I will probably be limited to one post again today, this will be my last post. Mine is now working, however if a proper programme is available to download, I will be one of the first to take up

I quite agree, if I had known it was an app and installed like this, I would not have bought it. I bought it based on my experience of the other one, must say I am massively disappointed, fell I have paid for something I did not want! I avoid installing apps, I did not find out about this until it was installed and I couldn't find it in Programme files
