Recommended Posts

Affinity Photo on Windows offered the Version 1.7.1 update to me by popup, so I followed instructions to install, but it both FAILED and also it DISABLED my version 1.7.0 ! I cannot find email, chat, or phone help here and my Affinity Photo is now UNUSABLE. HELP??

Affinity doesn't offer phone, chat or email support.
Thankfully the forum is full of informed helpful users and staff, so assistance is usually pretty swift.

Things that usually help when installation fails…

1. Simply trying again!
I find that a second (or rarely a third) attempt succeeds. Why? No idea!

2. Restarting the machine and then trying again.
Even more likely  to succeed than approach (1).

3. Uninstalling and then reinstalling.
I've never needed to resort to this, and I've installed every version of the Affinity apps that has been publicly released! But others say that they have had success with this approach.

You could also look at the install logs to see why it failed…

  1. Press Win+R to open run dialog.
  2. Type or paste %temp%/AffinitySetup/
  3. Look for most recent folder (it will have a random name)
  4. Open SetupUI.log
  5. Press Ctrl+f and search for "error"
