Hi all. Thanks for your patience over the weekend when our offices were closed.

We've had a meeting this morning and decided to ALSO offer MSI installers, to those people who would like them. I can't tell you when this will happen, as there is engineering work that will be required to allow this to happen, but we hope it won't be long.

Thanks for your feedback!

Great news, thanks ! But this is only half the way : now, get rid of this msix bul***, lol.

Why would the lack of access to the exe be such a big deal?

Because some users have heavily customised os that just got rid of all that app crap. And the last thing i want is having a headache while installing an update. Oh well... hope for a proper .exe on v3...

...and as we keep stating we are going to try to address in an update or as a simple distributable shortcut EXE

Great news !

Their wasn't any ground breaking new features, so, why would I need to try it first.

I'm glad i tried because i kept my money in my pocket. Went back to v1.10 and illustator. Why devs make this kind of changes is beyond me...

Hi,

Please attempt the following troubleshooting steps if you are experiencing issues installing an MSIX.  Please ensure you are running Windows 11 or Windows 10 May 2020 Update (2004, 20H1, build 19041) or later and have installed the Microsoft App installer available here: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/app-installer/9NBLGGH4NNS1

Thanks, Lee. But i wonder why there's not a proper .exe, or at least a proper "how to"...

Strange move.

Spent 30 minutes trying to install the Demo and finally deleted the whole thing. Didn't expect trouble in installing the software, lol. I'll stay on v1 for the time being.
