Aammppaa Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Installed the 424 beta for Designer (and Photo) Both install to a different folder than usual… Beta 424: C:\Program Files\Affinity\Designer Customer Beta Previous: C:\Program Files\Affinity\Affinity Designer Customer Beta This not only broke some pinned shortcuts, but also caused the apps to prompt for email and serial number - which was mildly annoying. Is this a permanent change to be inline with Publisher (which installs to Publisher not Affinity Publisher)? Will retail versions follow suit with the 1.7.2 update?

Rick G Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 The betas have always installed to separate directories from the retail versions as far as I know If you want to always open the Affinity files with the betas you must right click and always open with the beta program Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I'm guessing you've uninstalled this time (which would delete your previously saved install location and product key) where before you always did an upgrade? Sean P and Mark Ingram 2
