Recommended Posts

Hello i recently bought the affinity photo 2 and when i went to install it it gave me this message:

"App installation failed with error message: Windows cannot install package SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityPhoto2_2.0.3.1688_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt because this package is not compatible with the device. The package requires OS version 10.0.19041.0 or higher on the Windows.Desktop device family. The device is currently running OS version 10.0.17134.885. (0x80073cfd)"

Update your OS to a later version that meets the installation requirements?

I purchased a V2 bundle 10 minutes ago and am getting the same error message.  I have Windows 10 v 1909, which is a later version than what is stipulated in the error message.  Do I need to submit a request for support to Serif?

Whoops!  Just noticed that although my version is 1909, my build is 18363.418, which is apparently not compatible.  I wish this had been made more clear before I purchased.  Oh well, I guess it's time to upgrade...

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. 

It was prominently shown in the Technical Specs at the Affinity Store:
