Guedes Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I've got Affinity Designer 1.7.0.293 installed on my PC, it was already updated and it works fine, but when I try to update it to 1.7.0.367 it just doesn't work, it says "Caminho inválido" (something like "inavalid path"). Affinity Designer's installed on E:\ and I can't update it. It'd be very (very very very) cool if we could select where Affinity is installed on the future updates. Thanks. transitdiagrams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guedes Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Well, I found the solution (if anyone here's getting this error too). On Windows' cmd, type [Path]\affinity-designer-customer-beta.exe /extract A window called "Create MSI" will show up. Just fill it with your e-mail and product key and put in the Install Path the folder where Designer.exe's located. A MSI will be generated and it will be automatically installed when you open it. transitdiagrams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I'm not sure why that is needed for you. My Affinity applications are all installed on an external hard drive, and all update just fine. In any case, welcome to the Serif Affinity forums!

Guedes Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Not >for me<, I thought more people were getting that error. To prevent it, it would be useful a way to select the install path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To prevent it, it would be useful a way to select the install path. You can select the path when you first install the program. Then, when updating it obtains the directory information from the Windows registry, where the install location was recorded. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
