Problems at opening publisher files

[RainerH]

Hello,

since installing the 2.5.6 versions of the programms by using the downloaded installation-files (update by autoupdater did not work at this time) publisher does not open publisher files by doubleclicking them in the explorer. An error message occurs:

I have allready set up, that ".afpud" files allways has to be opend with affinity publisher:

When I first open publisher an then open publisher files via Datei ... open (Ctrl O) they are opened fine.

Maybe there's a bigger problem with this 2.5.6 vesion?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Rainer

Now I have the three new Installed files (2.5.6) in the programs area of the system panel. But there are the old ones (2.5.5) on my System but not to see in the system panel. Where are they located to deinstall them?

It sounds like you have installed using both the MSI/EXE version of the installer (.exe file) and the MSIX version of the installer (.msix file). You should be able to see both of them in the Windows Start menu (please use the standard Windows Start menu, not some replacement), and right-clicking should offer an uninstall option. Or, in Windows Settings app, in the Apps section, both should be there and uninstallable. I recommend uninstalling all of them, and reinstalling the version you want.
