jwilliamsen Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Is anyone else seeing this? The V2.03 Update not installing properly? When I fire up any of the Affinity apps, I'm getting a prompt asking me if I want to install the 2.03 update - I select "Install" - and the system runs through all of the usual screens ... but then when the app auto-launches after the update, I'm still at V2.0 and the prompt to install the update pops up again. This has happened a few times on all 3 apps for me. I should mention that I had to use the manual scripting method to install the 2.0 apps in the first place ... and I'm wondering if this is causing the problem. Looking forward to having normal installers available because the Windoze App Store method is crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have extracted the files from the MSIX (as incorrectly advised by some users here) then you are running in an unsupported way and the patch will not apply (one of the main reasons this is not supported, but there are others). You need to install the MSIX as designed. The full 2.0.3 MSIX file is available to download in full, as described in the relevant patch announcement Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

When the 2.0 version came out, it refused to install on my Windows 10 installation. I don't remember the exact errors I was getting, but they were similar to the error below, and it was being seen by other users as well. I ended up using the PowerShell to install the apps and as far as I can tell they are in the correct location (because Windows loves to hide things). I downloaded the MSIX files for 2.0.3 and tried running them, but I'm seeing the same errors I was seeing with the original 2.0 release: App installation failed with error message: AppxManifest.xml(49,6): error 0x80070005: Cannot register the SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityDesigner2_2.0.3.1688_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt package because the following error was encountered while registering the windows.fileTypeAssociation extension: Access is denied. . Try again and contact the package publisher if the problem persists. (0x80070005) I'm guessing that I'm going to have to use PowerShell again to install the updates. These are the only applications I'm running into this with - but then these are the only apps out of many dozens that I'm using that rely on the Windows app store. I'm looking forward to the good ol' reliable(ish) EXE's being released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLWood Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'm a new user and 2.03 would not install at all for me. I received the same error. I was able to install via PowerShell thanks to your suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilliamsen Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 FWIW, the PowerShell installation method successfully installed the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
