App launch required

[Panchdara]

So, I installed the latest and greatest versions of Designer, Photo and Publisher.... I then uninstalled ALL beta versions.... Publisher does NOT respond to Studiolink to open Designer??!!

 

Do I need to uninstall everything then is there any particular order to reinstall - removing beta versions messes things up.

As far as I remember, you'll need to launch each app 1x individually for your Studio Link to work for future use.

Many thanks Thomas. Once I uninstalled all apps then reinstalled (serials required), it all worked. Strange that. I would have expected the betas to be separate from the release versions. My other apps seem to not have this type of issue. All good now. Bestest.

They are. Studio Link does not mix them. Possibly the computer got slightly confused by these procedures of un- and re-installing. I occasionally experienced issues after a beta update, then a computer reboot always solved that.

No worries... I've experienced incomplete uninstalls before with Affinity, but managed to get the leftover stuff removed - not always a quick procedure. I think my issue stemmed from having 2 sets of betas (same product) but they were installed in separate locations (the betas that is) so with the release version there were 3 sets of the same product in different versions; uninstalling the betas confused the release version. But I am now on an even keel and sailing smoothly. Cheers.
