Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @BlueSailing. :)

Do you get any error messages? You might have a corrupt or incomplete download of the installer file. You can download a fresh copy from

https://affinity.store/update/windows/photo/1/

but your setup logs might offer up a clue to some other problem, in which case downloading a fresh copy of the installer would be a waste of time and ‘bandwidth’. To share those logs, press the WinKey (the key with the Windows logo, to the left of the space bar) and type or paste the following string, and then press ‘OK’:

%Temp%\AffinitySetup

In the Explorer window that opens, find the files Setup.log and SetupUI.log in the newest folder and attach them here.

Hi BlueSailing,

Welcome to the forums :)

Please could you try providing the setup logs that Alfred mentioned? They should allow me to look into this further for you.

Thanks

From the ‘SetupUI.log’ file containing the timestamp 7:51:48 (which I think is the last one of the five):

Thank you!  I'm about to gut my recycle bin.  It contains >10 Gb.

One other question.  Does Affinity Photos have a feature similar to Adobe Actions?  I need to automate some tasks, eg crop an image, add a filter, flatten, save to a specific folder on my computer.  I don't want to do this in batches, ie just single images.

Affinity Photo can’t read Photoshop actions but it includes its own Macros feature. Although you can use macros in batch jobs, this is optional.

Is there a way to assign a Function key to a macro?  eg assign F5 to a macro which will close an image without saving.

You really should start a separate topic for such an unrelated question :)

However, I'm not aware of any way to assign shortcuts to macros. And even if you could, a macro cannot close an image.
