Aammppaa Posted July 16, 2019 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
