Kasper-V Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Just opened AP and it tells me there's a new version, would I like to download it? Is this an update to 1.5, or a totally new version 1.6? The link takes me to a webpage where I can BUY the new version, but 1.5 only became available in November or December. Please advise!

Staff MEB Posted January 18, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi Kasper-V You have to go to the Affinity Store, to download the latest installer from there. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiboOst Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Just installed 1.5.1 over the beta, copied my settings from 1.0(beta) to 1.0, all went fine ! Congrat team ! I saw on facebook on teasing about 1.6, does next betas will still be 1.5.x bug fixing, or 1.6.x new features (and bug fixing of course)?

I hunted all over for an announcement - but didn't think to look in the "Bugs" forum. Something for the News and Information forum, surely?

By installing the last update 1.5.1, is it removing 1.5.0.45 version or only updating it? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 18, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi artofmtl, The installer removes the previous version automatically and then installs the new one. artofmtl and Patrick Connor 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webb Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 When I try to install Windows AP 1.5.1, it tells me it has insufficient privileges to access C:\Program Files\Affinity\Affinity Photo, which is where the previous version is installed. This is true if I simply run the installer as an ordinary user or as administrator. The only difference is that when I try to install as administrator it asks for my email and license key. There has got to be an easier way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webb Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Finally got 1.5.1 to install. It turns out that somewhere between the installer, the Windows 10 File Explorer, and the Windows 10 Registry, there was confusion. File Explorer thought that Affinity/Affinity Photo existed but that nobody had access permission, and Windows 10 thought that Affinity/Affinity Photo no longer existed. This explains why admin couldn't access it, and why the installer began asking for the license key every time an installer ran. Logging out and logging back in brought File Explorer up to date, and visiting C:\Program Files\Affinity revealed that the Affinity Photo directory no longer existed at all. This made it possible to run the AP 1.5.1 installer (not even as admin), enter the license information, and successfully install. I don't know whether this problem was caused by the installer or Windows 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiboOst Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I saw on facebook on teasing about 1.6, does next betas will still be 1.5.x bug fixing, or 1.6.x new features (and bug fixing of course)? Any word about this ? Hope for lot of small enhancement like sticky settings, more preferences options, more customization !
