You don't need to uninstall, simply download an older version and run the installer. I reverted from 5.1.1 to 5.0.8 and the only problem was a duplicated file which yielded a warning on the post window. I just deleted it and that was it. Emmanuel

Unfortunately on this machine the installer was reporting that it could not install because of a newer version being installed.

Beats me. It could be because it is a keyserver version of Max. We'll see.

Support told me to remove these folders/files, so I'll try that tomorrow.

~/Library/Preferences/Max5 Preferences Folder /Applications/Max5

and from /Library/Receipts/ " .pkg" Max5.pkg MaxMSP46.pkg MaxMSPRuntime46.pkg

Any other suggestions? Disk permissions? The machine is running OSX 10.5

Thank you, Klaas-Jan

PS: a 5.1 demo was installed earlier. The keyserver version is a 5.0.x version.

in your Library Receipts folder. I had a package that installed one minute after Max5.pkg called InterlokExtensions , or something to that effect. I deleted that as well and then my installer would let me install an older version.

Hi -

I'm having the same issues expressed in this thread -

I have a demo installed and now I'm trying to install our Keyserver version. I've deleted all the files indicated, including all Pace files I can find and I have edited InstallHistory.plist.

The System Profiler no longer lists Max in the Applications list.

The Installer still indicates the presence of a newer version.

The Keyserver Version is 5.0.8 and the Demo version is the latest.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks!
