Paul Martin Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 As far as I can tell, the new installation process is quick and easier than before, but it would have been nice to be warned of it as it is so different to with V1 Affinity. This is notable when installing minor upgrades. Anybody want to signpost a reasonably simple explanation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 If you are talking about MSIX (as you mention in the topic title) then the updates are faster because they are "delta" patches to the existing V2 code you have installed, not complete replacements as was done for V1 (and will still be done for the MSI/EXE-based installers that are now available for V2 if you choose to use them).

I was just slightly surprised by the new process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
