How to access Affinity Photo 2 .exe file?

[zBernie]

I'm trying to run Affinity Photo 2 from the command line so I can run it from Photo Studio.  I found the path to Photo.exe shown below, but that direct path gives permission errors.  So, I created a shortcut on my desktop to AF 2.0.  But you can see in the photo below I am unable to see the full path.

How can I run AF 2.0 from the command line?

 

Affinity Photo 1
C:\Program Files\Affinity\Affinity Photo\Photo.exe

Affinity Photo 2
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto2_2.0.0.1640_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt\App\Photo.exe

See …

… other than that, try in your shown properties dialog to select & copy the whole target type/target field path, by double clicking or right mouse click… and pasting it into Notepad, or the like, in order to see/read the full path.

Thanks, but that "start /b" command does not work in Photo Studio.  It doesn't work if I try to run it from a Windows "Run" dialog either.  As for copying the full path in the shortcut dialog box, I am unable to select the text in the "Target" or "Target type" lines:

I looked at the other thread, you need to create a bath file to to run the start /b command.

Or, alternatively, see: 

Soon there should be an MSI-based installer for the V2 apps, but the above should work for all cases (though some apps will require the launcher mentioned in the second post of the FAQ).

Thank you, much better than a batch file!
