Affinity Photo 1.7.3 not installable under Win 10


Recommended Posts

Hi, I´ve used Affinity Photo 1.6 and since a few month version 1.7.3 under Win 7 64-bit. Everything was ok. 

Now i´ve upgraded my desktop pc to win 10 and Affinity 1.7.3 does not find correct Windows 10 version !?!

I tried Affinity 1.6 and it works. I downloaded 1.7.3 today again and still same problem.

What IS the problem? Why does the older version is ok, but the newer one not?

Here I put my dxdiag as attachment. Can anybody help me?

Unfortunately the DxDiag doesn't tell us anything about why our installer is failing. First thing to try for any install issue, restart the PC and once restarted go to our setup file in your downloads folder and right click this and select Run As Administrator.
 
If the install is still failing then can you check this location for me:
%temp%/AffinitySetup
 
To get to that location, call up the Run box by holding down the Windows key and tapping the letter R. Copy and paste the above path into the run box and click okay. That should open a folder, which should contain at least 1 other folder. If there are more than one, find the latest one and open the folder, you should see 2 log files, setup.log and setui.log if you can email both of those over to me, I'll be able to advise further.
 
While these are being checked you can try the following, browse to the following locations and check for any Affinity folders, delete them.
 
  • C:\Program Files
  • C:\Program Data (You may need to tell Windows to show hidden files, Windows Explorer > View > Options > View > Show hidden files, folders or drives click Apply)
  • Windows key + R (Windows Run), type in %appdata% press Enter, if you see any Affinity folder, delete.

Do another reboot of the system and then run the setup for Affinity again (Right click, run as Admin)

Try this, please: Press the Windows key + R, then type winver into the run box, press OK, and take a screenshot of the Windows version information display.

According to the posted dxdiag file, yes.

But it might not be a recent enough version of Windows 10. Needs to be the Anniversary Edition, at a minimum. The dxdiat says it's 10249 and the current (1909) version is 18363.

I was absent for a few days. Here my Win10 version attached.

As mentioned above, you need to upgrade your Windows installation to a more recent version of Windows 10. You're running the version from 2015, and you need up to upgrade to the Anniversary Edition (1607) or later, which came out in 2016. Even that is several versions old, as there were releases in at least 2018 and 2019 (1909 is current).

If you click Start, then the Settings icon, then choose Update & Security you should be able to update your Windows system.
