mariocluster Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 1.7.057I don't even get the first windows (both for Affinity Desiger 1.6.5.123 and Publisher beta 1.7.0.57) - looks like some issue with fonts according to the .log, but AD 1.6.4 installation goes without issues.

Rick G Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 So here is what you do. Clean out the temp folder for your profile. Use Wise cleaner, Ccleaner or something like that and reboot. Before you load anything, load task manager, kill any startup programs that you don't need then try the install. If it does not work,, make sure it is not hung up in the task manager then RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. and see if that does it Also check to see if it in fact created the program folder Check to see if the install window is running behind everything else Check permissions on everything and if you must add your self with full permissions EVEN IF you are in the ADMINISTRATORS group with full permissions Just had an update of windows 10? Check permissions again. Remember, they are "improving" Windows 7 into the best phone app on the market (don't get me going) Anyway, please post back and good luck stokerg 1 Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted August 30, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hi mesbahworld, Do you have any log files form the install, as talked about in this post? If so please send them over to me in a PM and i'll pass them onto the install guys tomorrow. @mariocluster If you can see this link: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/64511-165-installation-issues-faq/ The font issue is covered in Point 8. I'd suggest following the advise from Microsoft and then re-running our installer and it should install okay. If it's still failing, PM me any error logs you have and i'll get them looked at tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medical Officer Bones Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Same problem here. Removed all registry entries, removed old version of Affinity Photo, manually removed all Affinity registry entries and files on the WIndows boot drive, and nothing works. Both Photo and Publisher refuse to be installed. I check the processes in Process Explorer, and both installers start up, and after a few seconds exit. I installed two other applications today, and no problems there. So something must be wrong with the Affinity installers, or at the very least these installers are checking something that others don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medical Officer Bones Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 *EDIT* Finally figured it out. I checked the installation log, and it failed with the "The type initializer for 'System.Windows.Media.FontFamily' threw an exception." error. I uninstalled all non-essential fonts, and it installs now. stokerg and corvuscampus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvuscampus Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Same problem - run the installer and no install window appears. Setup log ends with "The type initializer for 'System.Windows.Media.FontFamily' threw an exception." I'm not sure I'll uninstall all fonts to make the installer happy.

Staff stokerg Posted August 31, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hi corvuscampus and Welcome to the Forums, Can you follow the steps this post mainly point 8 which covers the invalid font issue. You should then be able to install the Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petfel Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'm having the same issue on WIN10. Installer of AP BETA 1.7.0.57 simply does not run (or hangs). Bones suggested deleting ' non-essential fonts' . The only fonts I have on my system are the fonts I either want or need. No way am I going to cripple my work setup to accommodate a badly mannered installer. Whether or not there is a work around this problem speaks of a product not yet ready for market. Also had installation issues with the old Serif Publisher in later versions which I paid for but could never get to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corvuscampus Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 After checking my fonts for obvious problems (invalid characters in names, bad timestamps) and not finding any issues, I went with Bones' solution - deleted every font I could remember downloading. And it worked! Thanks for the advice. That said, having extra fonts (even imperfect ones) on a user's computer seems like a reasonable assumption about Affinity users. No big deal for the Publisher beta, but my Photo wouldn't update because of this problem too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gajrey1042 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 All very well, but it is your softare that has the problem. First version of Beta I have seen this problem so it must be fixable. Surely you can fix it so we don't have to jump through all those hoops?? Rick G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
