What is the best way to go back a version for Schema Compare for SQL Server?

Post by mango333 » Tue 19 Jan 2016 21:44

I currently have Schema Compare for SQL Server installed at versions 4.1.32 but have recently discovered a bug that is preventing crucial processing. I need to roll back to 4.0.32, as I've confirmed the issue does not exist with this version. What is the quickest and cleanest way to do this?

Could you please describe the bug in details? In case you have already reported this bug through our support system, please provide us the corresponding ticket number.

Earlier product builds and versions are available to registered users only and can be downloaded in Registered Users Area. For this, please navigate to the "Registered Users' Area / Licenses / dbForge Schema Compare for SQL Server - Download" section. At the bottom, you will see the 'Previous Versions' section. There is the 'For a list of previous versions, click here' link on that page. The link will bring you to the 'Available previous versions of dbForge Schema Compare for SQL Server' page.

You can reply straight to our support system at supportATdevartDOTcom

Thanks Alexa. I submitted the bug prior to posting on the forums yesterday and have since emailed a couple of sets of app logs, recreating the error. I have the previous version downloaded already. I was looking more for process - is it recommended to completely uninstall first or can I just run the executable and the installer will know what to do?

You have to manually uninstall the newer version prior to installing the older one. Also, we recommend you to leave all the options on the 'Uninstall Options' page of the Uninstall wizard unselected.
