Rick G Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) SETUP FAILED ... so I uninstalled with Revo uninstaller and hunted out all mention of Affinity Publisher, rebooted and was able to install this beta successfully It is worth noting that the attempt to update the installation of Publisher totally broke it making it necessary to completely uninstall and reinstall the program ... there was no gentle failure that one could back away from Edited September 17, 2018 by Rick G Further developments 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...
petrpastor Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Save print profile now works fine Thanks. Still the offset value from left and top on N-up print is from printers printable margin rather then from media (paper) edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hi Rick G /have you tried restarting your machine to flush out any background windows updates? If so try running this Microsoft Tool which should identify and clean up install and uninstall issues then try again to see if the setup will succeed for you?

trajanmcgill Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I had the same problem as above (install from build 58 failed, and left no usable installation), and the suggestion above (rebooting and allowing pending Windows updates to complete) did allow me to install. I do think it is a problem that there is no uninstaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had edited my post to reflect that I had cleaned up manually and had success. Thanks for the tool. I grabbed it and will keep it around. I am thinking the Publisher installer has some deeper issues going on. I am sure it will get figured out Patrick Connor 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...

I did have photo and some other progs open and had been burning movies Same problem as before. No other Affinity apps active. Installer says "Setup fails". Reboot and run again - no problem. Perhaps it should say "Please Restart and try the Install again". In that case if it then fails it's meaningful. I do know that there was a restart pending due to another software update.

Uwe367 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Thanks for the new Beta Installation was working well without any Problems. Will start testing in the evening. I found a little, but terrible thing. For example i create a circle. In the top Menu i klick on Show Rotation Centre. So far so good, but if i need Guidelines, the point of Rotaion Centre will be hidden if i move the Guidelines. I think that it is a bug because in Photo and Designer Rotation Centre will be not hidden if i move Guidelines. And what i found too is that the Rotation Centre, if i move it, snaps to the horizontal Guideline, but not to the vertical Guideline. Have a nice day. Ich wünsche einen schönen Tag.
