Cannot install MSIX packages on Windows 11 22H2 x64 Error: "The app didn't start"


Recommended Posts

I get an error "The app didn't start" when trying to install any of the Affinity V2 programs (MSIX downlaods from Serif.com following the links afer purchase) on 64-bit Windows 11 Pro 22H2 OS.Build 22621.819.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much @Callumfor your post. I was able to install using the command line. I am sure I will find this to be useful information in the future.

My Windows App Installer is version 1.18.2691.0 (Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.18.2691.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe) and I had not had any issues with it previously. Windows Store Apps troubleshooter reported no problems.

Honestly, I wish Serif would offer alternative installation options. I doubt that Windows upgrade path from version 10 to 11 is a clean process, and troubleshooting Windows Installer issues for even advanced users is difficult. As to the Affinity Apps themselves, well, Awesome! Thanks again.
