SrPx Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 When it fails, it forces you to reboot, so I'm guessing it fails everytime unless you reboot. Have you tried to totally disable UAC in those moments ? (very bottom line of the slider) EDIT: Oh...Windows defender is on, too. AD, AP and APub. V1.10.6 (not using v1.x anymore) and V2.4.x. Windows 10 and Windows 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that Rick has said he's forced to reboot. He reboots, and then it works. But perhaps it would also work if he just reran the installer by right-clicking and choosing Run as Administrator. -- 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...

Before I rebooted I updated both Photo and Designer.

The installs failed even with Windows defender switched off at one point And it's only Publisher that fails? You can update Designer / Photo OK?

Uwe367 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I remember that i had a Problem some Month ago and, so far as i still know, there was a Problem with Frame Network and after updating this, it was working well but i´m really not sure if it was the same Problem. But i believe it was the same... On my System was Frame Network 4.6 running and i had to update to 4.7.... there was something like that I had problems with. On my System is now Frame Network 4.8 running. Have a nice day. Ich wünsche einen schönen Tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo and Designer update perfectly.

Michael Andreas Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I had the same issue this morning, needing to reboot before being able to install the latest APublisher beta. But I didn't have the issue the last time I upgraded the beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediamaskinen Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 On 7/15/2019 at 1:22 PM, walt.farrell said: Do your setup log files show the same error that Rick G has been reporting? You can find them, after a failure, by pressing and holding the Windows key, then pressing R. In the Run box that appears, enter %temp%\AffinitySetup and you'll get a File Explorer window opened to the folder that contains them. The subfolder with the latest date corresponds to the most recent installation attempt. Sorry for my late answer. I've been gone on vacation. I tried to update to the latest beta of Affinity Photo (as I said before the setup fails for all Affinity beta products) and got the same "Setup failed" again. This time I right clicked and started the installation with admin rights but got the same error (just as Rick in the video). My UAC setting is set to the lowest alternative (off) and I do not have Controlled folder access on. I'm not using any antivirus except the built in Windows defender. I have attached my setup log files and they seems similiar to Ricks. What I've noticed when entering the installation directory after the setup failed (C:\Program Files\Affinity) is that the "Photo Customer Beta" folder is still there but I have no rights to access it and when hovering over it it sais its empty. When right clicking I have no read rights in the security settings tab (see screenshot in Swedish) and clicking advanced button and trying with admin rights also failes.

Mediamaskinen Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I've now also tried to update Designer to the latest beta but with no luck. These screenshots are from the sections for apps and background process in the task manager when running the setup for Affinity Designer. After rebooting and checking the installation directory (C:\Program Files\Affinity), the folders for Photo and Designer betas are gone and when trying to install again everything works. Seems like something is locking the installation folders during the setup and when rebooting they are released and erased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willernest Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 It might be worth trying the newest publisher update .442. For the first time in memory, it updated on my machine (Win 10 1903) without a hitch. All previous attempts required a reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
