exe files when launching external applications. If you have purchased an Affinity V2 Universal Licence from the Affinity Store, that entitlement is already registered in your Affinity Store account. exe files, and some third party applications don't yet appear to be compatible with these - unfortunately it is down to each third party app to support execution alias. An Affinity V2 Universal Licence allows you to use any Version 2 Affinity application (Designer, Photo and Publisher) on any supported operating system, including Windows, macOS, and iPadOS. They have also confirmed that these are 'execution alias'. Our developers have been investigating this, and have confirmed the following:Ĭertain applications do not like using the generic %LocalAppData% path, instead please try the following:Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsAppsAffinityPhoto2.exeĬ:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AffinityDesigner2.exeĬ:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\AffinityPublisher2.exe Serif are aware of this issue but have disappointedly come back with "it's up to the other people to find a solution". exe files to be added for extra functionality eg DXO Photolab "Export to Application", hardware devices like the Stream Deck.

Where did you bought APh V2 from, the Microsoft store or the Affinity store? You maybe should try to de- and reinstall the APh V2 app, but this time install via the the plain MSI exe-installer from the Affinity website and not the MSIX installer.There is currently an issue in that AP installs as a "Store" app and that means that the expected. Yes, the APh screen icon shows that OpenCL is for APh v1 disabled, as does the "Console Output" there tell too! - Did you scrolled the "Console Output" to the end, in order to see if other APh versions (aka APh V2) are also found path wise? Since your thread title and first post do name APh v2 and the OpenCL disabler tool screens above so far show v1 paths. I assume that this means that "OpenCL" is not the source of my problem and that there is some other reason why Affinity 2 will not load. I used your Affinity OpenCL Disabler v1.3 tool and got the results shown below. In the third option, I launched Affinity 2 with the CTRL key held down as suggested in Leigh's post got the “Clear User Data” window but there was no option to “Disable Hardware Acceleration”.Īny suggestions on what I should do to launch Affinity Photo 2? I would really appreciate any help I can get to resolve this. I have not been able to find the Affinity 2 files even though indications are that the program installed successfully. I checked what should have been the default location but there is no Affinity 2 folder, only the old Affinity folder.

I got: “The system cannot find the path specified”. is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.”įor the second option (EXE/MSI), I entered the path to the default location for downloaded/installed program files. In the first option of Leigh’s post (MSIX/MS Store) I typed in the line for Affinity Photo given in the post and got: “…. I tried all three methods shown in Leigh’s post “How do I disable OpenCL Compute Acceleration…” but none worked: The opening screen appears but goes away after a few seconds and nothing happens after that. I purchased, downloaded, and installed Affinity Photo 2 but cannot get it to run.
