Greg T Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I open up Publisher... I always get "Would you like to install the update from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4?" ....If I click install, it causes the whole application to hang. Okay... I wait for a few minutes watching my Speedify app to indicate there's a download happening... but nothing! How do I update Publisher ...or any of these installed MSIX applications I bought directly from Affinity Store? Solution: Download MSIX file.. open it.. there should be a UPDATE button... click that.

Your personal user made changed/added settings should be stored in your users home directory "%USERPROFILE%/.affinity/..." you can backup or rename that one for sureness before performing a deinstall/ newly install. - Even I doubt that Win auto removes an ".affinity/" folder in your user home on a deinstall, you can backup it first for sureness, so can always restore it on demand.

Greg T Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 I took a chance... and instead of uninstalling... I just ran the new MSIX file and there was a button that said "UPDATE" ... I clicked update button and I didn't have to uninstall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg T Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 What sucks is that you have to download the "whole" 500+ mb file to update... when you should only need to download just the update portion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us can just let the app download the smaller installer, and the updating works. Something local to your system is probably causing the problem. The difficulty will be in figuring out what.
