AP 2 - message the file (exe) "cannot be accessed by the system"

[Jaffa]

Am trying to help a friend who has a DAM (inc editing) program which potentially can send images direct to Affinity Photo 2 for further editing.  However when we tell that program where the exe file is, we get the message that the exe file "cannot be accessed by the system" (Windows 10).  Whilst the program has been fine in the past by managing to pass images to Affinity Photo 1, it now cannot instead now do so to Affinity Photo 2.  Am hoping that there is a fix which does not entail entering code against the C prompt?

Hi Jaffa,

Either of the following methods can be used:

Access to the MSIX version

Install the MSI/EXE version by following these instructions (after removing the MSIX version) and use the EXE as you would any application.
