ad18 Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 I bought all three affinity apps on the windows store but I am prevented from installing or moving them to the D:/ rather than having them on my OS drive. its an SSD and not the biggest. it says the publisher wont allow it... Quote
walt.farrell Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 I think it's a restriction imposed by the Microsoft Store, which installs its applications into a special hidden folder on C.

ad18 Posted August 21, 2022 Author Posted August 21, 2022 Thanks, I have found and changed ownership of this hidden folder. I know how to change the install destination drive by going in the storage settings for new content or selecting move in app settings. For some reason Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher will not install to the redirected path or allow themselves to be moved. Quote

Possibly because they have a more complex setup structure, and use more than the single folder you would name? Other than that, I have no idea.
