I really want to roll back cause the bugged mixer graphics keeps me from focussing on my work, instead I find myself panicking about what’s going to happen each time I open a mixer.
Is there a quick + easy + safe way to roll back from 7.03 to 7.02 without having to reinstall everything + kill the preferences folder?
Doesn’t work for me cause I don’t have any backups, or suitable windows restore points. Will try to reinstall 7.02 on top of 7.03 and if it doesn’t work, then I’ll kill 7.03 and install 7.02 from scratch.
On the uninstall panel in windows 7 there is an option to show “installed updates”.
Windows keeps track of this, so just find the 7.03 update and uninstall it.
I have done this several times and always worked perfectly.
Learned the hard way that whenever I’m installing/changing something that might turn out iffy, it is best to create a restore point myself. Then I always have a suitable one.
The reason I’m not much of a restore point adept is that it will roll back everything else too. Every audio/graphics driver, every plugin update, every windows update etc. It’s not such a big problem for reverting C7.03 back to C7.02 cause it’s only a matter of days, but I stopped using this feature a long time ago cause the result can be unpredictable. Issues one managed to get rid of after the restore point might come back and so on.
Anyways, the ‘uninstall update’ windows option works fine.
The only underlying version I had was a clean 7.02 (the huge one from the download page, it installs clean and doesn’t require any previous versions) so when I uninstalled 7.03 this one (the 7.02) was the only one left. It didn’t appear in the list as long as the 7.03 was there, though.
