I found instructions in another FAQ about running Windows PowerShell as Admin and installing the products using the Add-AppxPackage command: All three products installed for me using the instructions contained above.

My Windows 10 is version 20H2 (OS build 19042.2130). The error is almost immediate upon launching any v2 *.msix file and the dialog is attached:

I don't see anyone else having this issue right now, but I'm unable to install the new v2 installers on my local Windows 10 laptop. I had v1.x of Photo and Designer on this machine, and now I've purchased a Universal License for v2. Downloaded the installers directly from the Affinity Store. I do have Admin rights on this laptop, so it's not that. And I've checked the permissions for the Packages folder down inside ~/AppData/Local, and my account has full access there... I've been on with my local support people, and everything looks right to them, they suggested I start a dialog with you guys to figure out what's going on. NOTE: For some reason, when I right-click on your *.msix file, I get no "Open/Run as Administrator" - which usually forces Windows to work around issues like this. I don't know if it's a setting/attribute you guys set, or, something about the file...? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me with this.

I'm having this exact same issue with the new v2 installers that came out today. My account has Local Administrator Rights for this whole PC, and other things install with no issues. I followed the instructions above to the Properties of the Packages folder, but my account already has Full Access in that view... Oddly, when I right-click on the Affinityxxx.msix, there's no option for "Open (or Run) as Administrator" they way there normally is...

In desktop Photo, you can command-click a layer mask to load the mask as an active selection. Is there an equivalent on the iPad?
