walt.farrell Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 One of the methods suggested in this FAQ should help: Some 3rd-part apps allow the first method; others require the one in the second post.

I still have Photo(1) working Cheers V2 software is installed as a UWP app and so it lives in a sandbox. You can't access it or execute it directly. You can only click the icon in the start menu to launch it. This is intentional on the part of Windows. Because of this, one needs to use a "helper" app to launch it when integrating with a 3rd part program. You can find one here: RichardMH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have wasted so much time trying to do what seems the impossible possible . This will be fixed in an upcoming release. Serif will be making a "normal" installer, so you only have to use the helper application until then. ianrb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
