I didn't try to install on Mac, but I'd like to have the Msi installer to be able to use affinity 2.0 wasn't really keen to upgrade with the pricetag

Welcome to the Affinity forums.

Unfortunately, your first post is rather confusing!  In your title you mention you didn't try to install on Mac but then talk about MSIX installer and MSI installer!  So, which operating system do you have, Mac, Windows or both?

The current MSIX installer is, clearly, Windows only; why can you not use it?  Technical reasons or simply preference?  If you are unhappy with the fact that is installs in the WindowsApps folder there are a number of posts detailing how it can be "moved" or at least be made accessible to third-party software.  This FAQ offers one solution for you.  Serif have made quite clear they will be releasing an .msi installer when it is ready and will announce the release in these forums.

Win 10 Pro, i7 6700K, 32Gb RAM, NVidia GTX1660 Ti and Intel HD530 Graphics

Long-time user of Serif products, chiefly PagePlus and PhotoPlus, but also WebPlus, CraftArtistProfessional and DrawPlus.  Delighted to be using Affinity Designer, Photo, and now Publisher, version 1 and now version 2.

iPad Pro (12.9") (iOS 17.4) running Affinity Photo and Designer version 1 and all three version 2 apps.

And how/where you purchased it. That is also important to know in order to give the best advice or trouble-shoot license problems.
