Aurora for Windows 8 Touch fails to run.
I have installed Aurora (version 29.0a2, Australis interface) on my PC running Windows 8.1 64-bit. When I run Aurora in Windows 8 Touch mode (using the Windows 8 button in Aurora) it just shows the app's splash screen and disappears. Needless to say, Aurora is set as my default browser.
Is this a known bug and would be solved soon, or is it just happening with me?
UPDATE: I found this error message in the Windows event logs: "Activation of the app DefaultBrowser_NOPUBLISHERID!1E05176855CC7D2F for the Windows.Launch contract failed with error: Access is denied."
