Old Google NIK collection bombs out upon selection

[Scrabo]

Since V2.1 - the free NIK collection from google bombs out upon selection of the plug-in  - regardless of which plug-in selected.

 

Windows10 - 64bit

Worked fined in previous versions

Also tested with same results on Win 11 64bit machine - either zero action or crash upon selection.

Hi Scrabo,

I don't know what could be wrong on your end.

For me, this is working perfectly well. I actually like the old NIK/Google version.

Also the new Affinity Beta version 2.1.1.1847 is handling it really well.

For what it is worth:

I recently moved back to the old MSI installer rather than the newer MSIX.

I am certainly not a computer expert. All I can say is that MSI works much better for me, not only on this particular issue. I am certainly not advising folks to do the same. All I can do is to share my own experience.

Wish you lots of success.

The old free plugin works fine for me in v2.1, too. Win 11 x64.

In my trouble shooting I completely wiped out the computer and reinstalled win10 hoping that would help but it didn't 

The issue is either the plug-in dumps, or simply does nothing

Hi Scrabo,

Just to confirm are you using the MSIX or MSIEXE version of Affinity?

Thanks

Managed to get them working today in 2.1.1 by spending a few hours hunting thru the registry for anything Nik or DXO related and just deleting them , something really messed things up
