How to roll back to a previous version of Swing Catalyst

This support article describes how to install a previous version of Swing Catalyst. Usually we do not recommend doing so, but in some cases it may be helpful to do so in the interim while a new version is being worked on.

 

Warning:

When installing Swing Catalyst that has a smaller major version than the version you had installed (e.g installing 8.0.5 from 9.1 or 9.0), Swing Catalyst has to load a backup database that matches the major version installed. This means when uninstalling 9.x and going to version 8.x it will load a database backup from the last time you used 8.x which means the new swings recorded in 9.x will not be accessible.
