iainmcr57 Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 Hi, I'm a long time Serif customer (page plus 2 was my first) I recently installed the free trial of v2 of Designer, Photo & Publisher. I've tried Designer about a week past, sat down today to try out all 3 and all that's on my laptop are my V1 installs. Any ideas? Quote

iainmcr57 Posted December 2, 2022 Author Posted December 2, 2022 Absolutely no sign, no desktop icon, not in start, I've checked installed programs in control panel. I have my 3 desktop icons for designer, photo & publisher but they all open my V1. Reckon my 30 day trial will be up before I can really evaluate. Quote

iainmcr57 Posted December 2, 2022 Author Posted December 2, 2022 Walt and that is exactly where they are! I'm taking it that if I decide to upgrade after the trial then I'd have to delete V1 before installing V2? Or will the S/W do that automatically? I don't recall this issue when doing various upgrade of Page Plus/Draw Plus over the years Quote

Win key + S... start typing designer or photo and wait for Windows lotto to show it as an option... I had V1 pinned to taskbar anyway, so I did the same with V2 once I opened them up... (right click, pin to taskbar) Edit: I actually don't use Start at all. I use Windows search for everything and then vast majority of what I use for content creation is pinned. iainmcr57 1 Quote
Corgi Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 Both v1 and v2 can co-exist. If you want v2 to show up in Control Panel (like v1 does), Serif will soon be releasing a new version of v2 that installs the same way as v1. I presume you'd have to uninstall your current v2 apps, then re-install with the MSI (not MSIX) version of v2. iainmcr57 1 Quote

No, you'll have both V1 and V2 unless and until you decide to delete V1 yourself. iainmcr57 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
