Designer hanging when trying to install a purchased bundle


Recommended Posts

Hi all, hoping somebody might be able to help me please?

I purchased Photo and Designer today and seem to be having an issue with designer. If I try to install one of the free bundles that comes with the licence, the application just hangs until I end it. I've left it alone for about half an hour and this makes no difference. Totally hung and unresponsive.

The program Designer.exe version 1.9.2.1035 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.
 Process ID: 2b18
 Start Time: 01d72e4fc8864076
 Termination Time: 25
 Application Path: C:\Program Files\Affinity\Designer\Designer.exe
 Report Id: 04c1e3b9-58ce-44ea-ba4b-44d1a6807582
 Faulting package full name:
 Faulting package-relative application ID:
 Hang type: Unknown

The issue has not occurred in Photo where the bundles installed just fine.

I've tried reinstalling the app, including wiping %programdata% stuff but the problem will not go away.

Has anybody come across this, perchance? If so I'd love some help.

Sorry if I've missed the answer in the forum, I did try looking. I'm not seeing a crash report in %appdata% and don't have any of the software confirmed to be affecting 19.2

Thank you!

The first one requires manual approval, and thus depends on when you make it and whether any moderators happen to be around.

Given that you posted your first post on a weekend and at nearly midnight where the Serif Staff work it  may have taken longer than if you'd posted some other day/time.
