All Media Lab Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hi, First of all congrats with the new Affinity app Publisher!!! The Windows Publisher Bugs "place" (button is missing!) doesn't work. The Studio Link in Publisher is not recognizing my installed Designer and Photo and is asking to purchase them!? Regards, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted June 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 19, 2019 Have you ran both Designer and Photo up? Quote Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Media Lab Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Yes I also opened all apps and did a restart (Windows 10 latest OS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Mark Daniel Posted June 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 19, 2019 You need to have installed and run the 1.7.1 Windows versions of Photo and Designer. Have you updated to the latest versions? Jon P, All Media Lab and Leigh 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Media Lab Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 OK Thanks that was the problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmz Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I have installed the latest versions of Photo and Designer, but Publisher is recognizing only Photo. I re-installed Designer and reboot Windows 10 several times but Designer is still not recognized. Any suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 19, 2019 @fmz Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums Please can you go to "\%ProgramData%\Affinity\Common\1.0\appinfo\Release" and delete the Designer Release.appinfo. Once deleted, re-run both Designer and then try the StudioLink again.

I had to follow a slightly different path to find the Photo Release.appinfo configuration file and delete it. In windows the path is: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Common\appinfo\Release\Photo Release.appinfo I had to have admin authority to delete the file. This fixed the problem with Publisher-Photo interoperability. JJ BlendBloke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuso77 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 What if I: - Had Designer, Photo and Publisher all installed on a non-Windows drive (Drive D) -Reset Windows (keeping all personal data) No appinfo folder exists in ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\ or \username\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Common\ I could always just uninstall/reinstall them all, but...

If Windows does not recognize the apps as installed they are unlikely to run properly in any case. After a Windows reset you generally need to reinstall the programs that were lost.
