So, I have used affinity before but on a different PC so I went to install it on this one instead of my other and when I went to open the setup it showed my cursor loading for about 10 seconds and then stopped and nothing opened... Could I get a bit of help with this please thanks! :)

Thanks! I looked over the different things stated and have already tried a few and the ones I haven't have no relevancy to my issue 
I got up my UI log and below is where the error took place - Well I believe it is.

When I install nothing pops up at all just have a loading cursor for a few seconds nothing opens at all not even when I looked through task manager, this is the only application having this issue as I have tested installing other things and they work perfectly fine.

That error message does seem relevant, but I don't know enough to suggest a fix. Someone from Serif will probably know what it means.

Hi @MrJWG,

Apologies for the delayed response, our team are very busy following the release of version 1.10.3 so our replies are a taking a little longer than usual - many thanks for your continued patience and understanding here.

Can you please upload a copy of your setupUI.log file here for me, so that I can investigate this further?

Many thanks in advance :)

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

Thanks for the file provided, this isn't quite like any other setupUI.log file I've seen previously - as we would usually expect an 'error' to be generated, however I can see your installer itself is crashing which is most unusual.

Firstly, can you please try re-downloading the installer .exe file, as it may be that yours is partially missing/corrupted -

https://store.serif.com/update/windows/designer/1/

Once downloaded, please right-click on the .exe file and select Run as Administrator.

Does this install as expected for you please?

Thanks for confirming that for me and I'm sorry to hear this has not helped!

The stack trace shown in your log file does mentioned theme resources - are you currently using any utilities to 'reskin' or modify Windows appearance?

Thanks for verifying and trying that for me, it certainly seems 'Theme' related so I have a few suggestions -

  1. Can you please try running the .NET repair tool found at the below link, then restart your PC and trying installing Affinity once again -

    https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=30135
     
  2. If this does not help, please create a new user account and then attempt to install the Affinity app here, this should help us determine if it's something specific to your current user account, or the hardware in your system.

Please do let me know how you get on here :)

That's certainly strange, did you experience the same behaviour in the new user account - or did you observe something different?

Our developers do believe that Translucent TB may be the cause of this, are you willing to try uninstalling this, then restarting your PC and trying once again for me? :)
