Is there now an official EXE or other installer than the original ones for V2?

Hi,

For all 3?

Publisher V2 takes 2 1/2 minutes to load. Designer about that long too, and Photo, seems to get stuck on loading fonts.  V1 loads pretty fast.  MS Word loads in about a second.

From the FAQ: 

 

Note that you should uninstall the MSIX versions before installing these, and you should not try to mix and match. Use all MSIX, or all EXE/MSI, not a mix.

Thanks Walt!  I found them!  Will do (uninstall and reinstall).  Hope it works.  I have the latest drivers installed for my NVidia video card and have tried previous versions which didn't  help.  I just installed FontBase so maybe that will help with disabling fonts and enabling them as needed.

If not, I am going to have to go back to V1 and request a refund for V2 if that is possible.

If you purchased from Serif, and within the last 14 days, it's possible. Otherwise I'm not sure.

Then it is not possible.

Do you know where previous versions of all three V2 apps are?  I do not remember them taking over 2 1/2 minutes to load.

Rats.  Fontbase does not deactivate fonts.  Every font in every application (Affinity, Word, etc...) are all available and load with the applications.  Even though when FontBase starts up it says 5,000 fonts inactive and the buttons on the right are all unchecked.  I don't get this program. 

I could go into Windows 10 and deactivate them one at a time but no thanks.

I think, with Fontbase, you start by not installing all your fonts (or, by uninstalling them). Then you use Fontbase to activate/install only the set of fonts that you need for any active project.

I am not sure, but perhaps you can just drag the active fonts out of the Windows folder they're currently in, rather than doing them one-by-one.
