gmazon Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 the msix Affinity Photo V2 free update installs to programfiles\windowsapps folder without giving a choice then refuses to run.
Staff Leigh Posted November 10, 2022 Staff Posted November 10, 2022 I'm sorry to hear that you're having this issue with V2. Strange question but have you ever changed the permissions for the WindowsApps folder in C:\Program Files?
Staff Leigh Posted November 10, 2022 Staff Posted November 10, 2022 Also, which version of Windows are you using? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/which-version-of-windows-operating-system-am-i-running-628bec99-476a-2c13-5296-9dd081cdd808
gmazon Posted November 11, 2022 Author Posted November 11, 2022 I opened up the permissions on the folder after I could not gain access to it although I should not have had to. I use Windows 11 home, version 10.0.22621 build 22621
gmazon Posted November 11, 2022 Author Posted November 11, 2022 I also do not know why this app did not load into program files as v1 did.
Staff Leigh Posted November 11, 2022 Staff Posted November 11, 2022 Affinity V2 now uses MSIX which installs the apps into a specific folder - this can not be changed, sorry. Did you change the permissions on the WindowsApps folder to try and find the .exe for use in a third party app like Lightroom?
cybertec69 Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 This is the worst launch of software by any company I have ever seen. The software does not even show up in your programs folder directory.
AiDon Posted November 11, 2022 Posted November 11, 2022 Go to Settings, Apps, Apps & Features click on the 3 dots next to the entry then select Advanced Options, go down to Reset then press Repair to see if that fixes the issue.

Good suggestion - let me know if that works @gmazon
gmazon Posted November 11, 2022 Author Posted November 11, 2022 Actually, had to go to apps, installed apps, Affinity2 then the three dots but the solution did work. Thanks.. Worst application install I have experienced, and I have been in IT for 30 years Leigh 1

I don't have time for this hot mess of a software release. I also suggest that you read all my posts. This has NOTHING to do with security nonsense sold to the uniformed masses by Microsoft. Again, this is one hot mess of a software release.
