PW7 Beta Deletes PW6, Cannot Go back

I have a licensed copy of PW6 Standard and thought it would be useful to try the PW7 beta, but it automatically deleted PW6 and now I cannot re-install PW6 because the installer says a newer version of the software exists even though I have completely deleted the PW7 beta.

How do I get back to my normal PW6 standard edition?

This is on an Intel Mac OSX system.

Hi MegaBit,

welcome on this forum.

How dod you install PW7 ?

For my part, I installed PW7 without deinstalling PW6, and both are running in parallel on the same system (but it is a W7/64b) !

This allows me to compare the two products.

I don't know Mac, but isn't there, at the OS configuration level, an option to force the delete of a previous version before installing a new one.
The goal being to let a clean system running.

Steve Jobs being upon God, I can believe he had such a taught.

If this exists, just de-install PW7, re-install PW6, disable that option, install PW7 and re-enable that option.

Best regards,
Dominique

Unfortunately, Easypano developers do not make an "uninstall" and even though deleting applications on a Mac is 1,000 times easier than on a PC, Easypano has some files hidden that are not tagged to them so I cannot find them to delete by searching for key words that should be in the file names.

When I installed PW7 beta I simply downloaded it and ran the install routine, which was automatic. However, I quickly discovered that it had automatically deleted the PW6 files without asking or telling me it would do that.

I have removed PW7 beta completely but because these hidden files are buried somewhere, it will not let me reinstall PW6

That is not possible because when trying to submit a help ticket the Easypano server returns an error saying that it unexpectedly dropped the connection over and over and over....

Sorry, I don't do Mac either, as I don't like to be limited.
