GarryP Posted August 17, 2024 Posted August 17, 2024 Welcome to the forums @new The “x64” versions are for Intel CPU-based systems, while the “ARM64” versions are for ARM CPU-based systems. Basically, the MSIX versions install as ‘sandboxed’ applications that Windows has more control over, while the MSI/EXE versions give you more control over how they are installed and let you reference the application EXE in other applications, such as external image management software. You can install whichever version is right for you, but only you can say which that is depending on your system and requirements.
carl123 Posted August 17, 2024 Posted August 17, 2024 I would use this one 2. MSI/EXE (x64) – 610.24MB, To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
