JBMauser Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I have downloaded the update and it runs and quickly fails. I deleted the update and waited a day and tried again with no success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBMauser Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Someone on an Affinity Facebook page told me to run as administrator and run the install and it worked. 1.8.5 loaded and runs. Chris B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 The ‘Run as Administrator’ option is mentioned in the post from Leigh that I linked to in my previous post. In case you didn’t know, you don’t need to log in to an administrator account and then run the installer. You can choose the ‘Run as Administrator’ option from an ordinary user account. Good to hear that your latest installation attempt was successful!

walt.farrell Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 1 hour ago, Alfred said: you don’t need to log in to an administrator account and then run the installer. True. But additionally, even if you do log in using an administrator account, choosing "Run as Administrator" seems to give more authority to perform the install than merely being an administrator gives. My normal account is an an administrator but I have still needed to use Run as Administrator on occasion.
