Tried multiple times to install the beta program and constantly says "setup failed".

Running an Windows 10, AMD Threadripper Gen 2 PC with AMD Radeon 580 graphics card, 4k Acer Monitor.

I have turned off virus protection, etc. Not sure why this is happening, no problems installing any other programs.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums!

What release of the beta are you trying to install? The latest is 1.7.0.270 from here. What version of Windows 10 are you running?

Do you have other Affinity programs installed (if so which ones and which versions), or is this your first?

A couple of general things to try:

  1. Reboot. If that doesn't let it work, then
  2. Right-click on the executable, select Run as Administrator.

If those don't work, you can find setup logs by pressing the Windows key + R, then entering %Temp%\AffinitySetup which should give you the setup log folder. The newest subdirectory will have two files Setup.log and SetupUI.log. Searching for the word Error should locate the problem.

Just to add to what @walt.farrell wrote:

You are running a 64 bit version of Win 10?

Good question. I just assumed no one would run a 32-bit version of Windows on a Threadripper :)
