Thanks for the update.
Even though I got the app moved and working.
I still prefer to have control of drive/folder location and whether I want to update or not at each update notice.
So, I would use the MSI over the app. Thanks

I have to watch what apps are installed on my SSD.
Installing v2 doesn't allow me to install to another hard drive.
Tried the suggested "Setting" change to change location of content, but still installs to SSD.
WHY DID YOU CHANGE THIS. I HATE IT!!!!
You just pulled an Adobe stunt. That's why I ditched them. Trying to do APP things on a PC is A BIG NO NO!!!!
I guess if there is no solution. I am getting a refund and going back to v1.
Or I may just go back to CorelDraw or Inkscape and ditch you too.
Seriously... what who thought to do this!?
Now how do change my install location since there is no EXE???

Well, against my better judgement. Installed the apps and moved them to another drive. They are working
Hoping that everything will work when updates come.
They should, but I have never been a fan of windows apps. Still ain't.
Even though Inkscape has better features, it does run a little clunky.
But hey, they have bitmaps tracing!! Hope we see that from affinity before v3

Yeah, not good enough though
Still a lot of questions concerning updates and such like.
I emailed Affinity directly, they still haven't responded yet.

I just reinstalled v2 to test.
It does have a Move button in Settings on Windows 10.
However, you still can't specify where it goes.
It automatically creates a WindowsApp folder, with locked permission.
So, that means on every update you have to go through this process of "moving" it.
Still not I want to be done. HATEIT

Yeah, I went back to v1 as I migrate to Inkscape, Sribus and Gimp.
Then I am done with Affinity.

I never thought of doing the Trial because..
1) I assumed that Affinity was EXE installs, not window apps.
They didn't even tell us this was going to happen.
Back a few years, Adobe did a similar thing in not telling users that their program would only work on Windows 10.
Made a lot of people mad because they didn't announce it and lots of users installed to only find out it wouldn't work on Windows 8.
2) Their wasn't any ground breaking new features, so, why would I need to try it first.
This is so lame.

CorelDraw has THE BEST warp text function around in a vector programs.
AD needs this desperately.... it is awesome!
After all you have it in AP. Even though it converts to a pixel layer.
You could do the same in A.D. by converting it to curves first then allow mesh warping.
Currently the easiest way I get around this is to use coreldraw
Then copy/paste it into AD.
It is pasted as a CorelDraw object, but you can still use it as a vector object.

I did all that... but it finally installed after several ties.
Windows 7 Home

Finally got it....
 
I went and messed wih Config.msi folder. It was read only.

So far, everything seems to be working for me. (Windows 7)
I do have one feature that I think is not ideal. And that is the Text wrap button on the top bar of window.
i don't see a "Studio" panel that I could use on my side panels.
If I were working with lots of images, it would be better if I had a panel on the side then having to always just click button ever time I need to make a change.
Just a suggestion.
BTW... I love the Table function. Nice!
Thanks

Since I have dumped Adobe CC... I need to export to EPS from AD.
 
However.... gradients and transparencies convert to images.
 
This is not what I want.... I want my entire export to stay vector and open in Illustrator or Corel draw with all vectors staying true to what was created.
