Switched to F10. Please press <Ctrl> before you launch the app. At the dialog check 'Clear User Defaults'. Be aware this will reset you toolbars and keyboard shortcuts if you have customised them.

gajrey1042 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Setup did complete this time, but I get "The instruction at 0x7736f157 referenced memory 0x00000050. The memory could not be read." error. Do you actually test these updates in Windows? From 1.7.0.162 install has failed and if I try to go back to an earlier version those now fail too!

Every document I have created from v. 145 through 162 has opened perfectly.

icreate Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Just a heads up, the last few days I've been using v162 and I never got any update reminders; this is on my laptop, iMac and Mac Mini. All were running v162 and it was only yesterday when I was browsing the bugs forum that I thought about checking my version number and it was v162. I'd quit and opened it several times throughout the day and the update never alerted me that I should update to v167. On both versions, when I clicked 'About…', it said I was running 1.7.0 which was the latest version. Just wanted to flag this up with you as there could be people out there who are still running v162. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icreate Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I'd like to take the opportunity to give the devs a pat on the back here. The improvements made since the first beta (and made so quickly) give me real confidence in moving from Indesign to Publisher as and when its ready. Keep up the good work chaps. P.S. You're going to give Adobe a run for its money - any chance we can buy shares in the company? jmwellborn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted November 16, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 16, 2018 Hi KipV, Press and hold CTRL while launching the application until a Clear User Default dialog appears, keep the first three checkboxes ticked and press Clear. The Preview button should appear in the main toolbar then. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
