Thank you.
The background information regarding the System32 folder usage was very helpful and cleared up my confusion regarding the binaries.
I followed the link you provided, downloaded the offline installer which 'repaired' the .NET Framework 4.6.2 installation on my system. I tried many approaches to determine what the installed version was on my system after the 'install'. (Just because I ran the executable, it doesn't guarantee the correct expected results.)
I tried several approaches to verify the version:
'.NET Detector' did NOT correctly identify the installed versions.
Traversing the Registry to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\full" only provides the Visual C# compiler version.
The solution was found by going to the page following this link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh925568%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
After traversing the path in the Registry using Regedit, look for the name 'Release', which indicates that .NET Framework of 4.5 or newer is installed on the computer. Using the Data value in parentheses at the end of the line, compare that with the DWORD table from Microsoft to determine the installed .NET version.
My system Registry shows the Release DWORD value to be '394806' which indicates that I have .NET Framework 4.6.2 installed on a Microsoft OS version other than Windows 10. [two files attached]

An additional issue associated with starting Photo.exe was that I was getting a second 'Application Error' during program initialization. The Faulting application name was: NvStreamUserAgent.exe, version: 7.1.2084.9592.
Research on this executable revealed that it is an NVIDIA Streaming Service used by NVIDIA SHIELD owners to stream game titles. The service is setup to run automatically by default and it is said to lower your frame-rate by 3-5% when gaming. If you don’t have an NVIDIA SHIELD this service doesn’t need to be running all the time and you can disable it manually by following the guidance provided at:
I approached this as a "program conflict" and disabled the service.
This action removed the Application Error for 'NvStreamUserAgent' in the subsequent Windows Error Reporting log.

I still am unable to execute Photo.exe successfully. I continue to receive a 'System.NullReferenceException' in Windows Error Reporting.
Suggested next steps??

Question:
What version of the Microsoft .NET Framework is required for Photo.exe to perform properly?
Research shows that Error Event 1026 is associated with .NET Runtime issues, as shown in the error logs that I provided. I inspected my system Windows features and the Microsoft .NET Framework is version 3.5.1.
Please advise if this needs to be updated to support Affinity Photo.

Greetings Lee D,
I do not have FastPictureViewer Codec Pack installed to my knowledge. I have attached the list of Audio and Video codecs installed on my system.
In reviewing the file I noticed the first four Audio codecs have the same Version number, indicating a Pack. The last four Audio codecs and the last five Video codecs also have the same Version number, indicating another Pack. The first five Video codecs also look like a set. This leaves five Audio codecs and one Video codec about which I cannot make a determination.
This leads me to the question: How and where can I find out what the latest version number of installed Windows 7 codecs?
I performed a 'Clean Boot' of my system with the following results:
The application did not run properly and crashed on startup.
While in the 'clean boot' I attempted a 'repair' of the installation with negative results.
While in the 'clean boot' I removed the application and re-installed the application with negative results.
I then started checking the computer management logs and while they were open I recreated the error. I have captured the three generated log entries in the attached file along with a copy of the error Report.wer file.
Hope this is helpful to the support and development teams to help understand and resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Greetings Lee D,
Additional efforts allowed me to open the AppCrash_Photo.exe file which I saved as a txt file.
Review of the file contents shows that Affinity Photo\Photo.exe is correctly installed in the 64 bit folder 'Program Files' however, the program is loading modules from \Windows\SYSTEM32\ , the 32 bit filesystem.
Can you assist on what actions are necessary to direct the program to load the dynamic link libraries and other binaries from the correct Windows directory?
Are there specific actions that I need to take during the installation process to ensure the correct path(s)?
Is there a configuration setting that I am not aware of that requires corrections?
I have attached the AppCrash_Photo.exe file for your review.
Thank you.

Thank you.
I tried resetting the app by holding down the CTRL key and opening the app. The response was the same as previous. I checked for the CrashReports folder and there was no folder by that name. I did locate the SystemInformation.txt and Log.txt files. The Log.txt file is empty. The SystemInformation file lists my hardware and software configuration.
Where do I obtain a list of REQUIRED hardware for the product to perform properly? Is there a utility available that checks for missing or incorrect required items? This would be handy to compare against the SystemInformation.txt file.
Additionally, I went to the Administrative Events and located the associated event for the crash. The General tab contents are:
Faulting application name: Photo.exe, version: 1.5.0.45, time stamp: 0x58480606
Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
