Al Stig Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I'm AF user and serif user for a long time. I wanted to give a go to publisher in order to make a decision about purchasing whole bundle or just upgrade the two. It's no brainer regarding the price etc. but just want to make decision of using it or not. Anyway the MSIX doesn't work. I made a decision not to use MS app thing and have none. Reason is simple. MS uses it's privileged position to install software without asking me. Updates are quite bad as is with Cortana and 3 browsers which I never use. I thought we solve this issue but obviously not. So now this new format. Downloaded the MSIX thing and nothing happens. Do I really need to update MS team which software I want use on my machine ? So strong vote NO to MSIX format, and if there is no exe, or msi format which I can install, I probably will not upgrade to v2. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Regards Aleksandar If you wish to install MSIX apps just by double clicking the .MSIX you will need the App Installer app from the MS Store installed. If you don't want to install this you can install the apps using Powershell using the commands listed in this FAQ: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good news for me: a little OCD niggle of mine was wanting to rename the Start Menu shortcuts for easier readability at glance, have the option of putting them in Start Menu subfolders, and to have them not wrap text badly when pinned to the Start Menu due to the extra length of the version number. Seemed a little fussy to ask though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
