Photo V2 installer not installing


Recommended Posts

So, I downloaded the .msix on Windows 10. I meet all the requirements, as far as I can see but, when I open the installer I get the installer window(pic attached). I click Install and....it shows a swirl for a few seconds, then disappears. And does nothing. No new dialog box. Nothing running in the background. It just....quits. I'm a photographer, not a programmer, so have no clue what I'm doing wrong. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. 

Installing V2 with its new (to many users) MSIX installation process is not going smoothly for some users.

First, I would check the Windows Start Menu to see if the program appears to be installed. It may have installed, but simply failed to "launch when ready". If it installed, you should find Affinity Photo 2 in the programs starting with A in the list.

If it's not there, the suggestions in this FAQ may help. Mostly they seem to relate to actual error messages, but there is one suggesting a way to install using Windows Powershell, and a way to examine logs.

Serif have also agreed to ship a different installer in the future, which may provide an alternative for you if you can't get the current installation method to work. There's no date for that yet, as far as I know, but they're hoping it will be "soon" from what I've read.
