ms.fuentecilla Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Download speed from this server is apalling! I don't have the fastest connection but nothing else takes 20 minutes for this size
Adam Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 ms.fuentecilla, It took me just 23 seconds to download. Is it maybe a peak time for available bandwidth where you are? Thanks, Adam

ms.fuentecilla Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 This Beta is far more stable. It is now possible to stop processes taking too long without Task Manager's help though it does take time. There is much to like. The download time might have been due to peak time but how does one know? This is rural Spain with 6Mb speeds, the new Beta arriving immediately after my return from more civilised internet zones. Inconsiderate!!! 23 seconds - wow! It runs well though. Still much to explore Michael David Quail 1

voom Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Can't install these betas AP and AD with error: "administrative rights needed to install into this directory" - I am the only admin on the Win10 PC and also tried starting the installer with elevated rights. Any ideas? This is the first time this happens with an Affinity installer. Edit: strange, after uninstalling the previous beta the folders were still there and could not be deleted. I used an unlocking tool and was able to delete the folders. After that I could install the new betas.
voom Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Thanks for rolling back the new Wacom implementation. Now the pen works again... Pinnochio 1
