Using the rollback feature in the Uninstall Packages wizard, you
can remove an update to a package, reverting to a previous version.
During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access resources
from the earlier version of the package. If you installed the product from
a repository, you must have the listed in your Preferences (File
> Preferences > Repository) the repository from which you installed
the previous version of the product. If you installed the product from CDs
or other media, they must be available when you use the rollback feature.
Use the rollback feature if you have applied an update to a product
package, and decide later that you want to remove the update and revert to
the earlier version of the product. When you use the rollback feature, the
Installation Manager uninstalls the updated resources, and reinstalls the
resources from the previous version. You can only roll back one version level
at a time.
To roll back an updated package, complete the following steps:
- On the Start page, click Uninstall Packages to
start the Uninstall wizard.
- From the Installation Packages list, select
the package that you want to roll back.
- The Roll Back Packages dialog opens.
- Click Yes to roll back the package to the
previous version. Click No to uninstall the product
package completely.
- Complete the wizard according to the on-screen instructions.
