Daft question: howto downgrade?

Post by styleruk »

Hi

Can anyone point me to a howto on downgrading. Just upgraded to 1.1.15 and spore don't work anymore. Gave crosover a try and the did nothing.
Is there an easy way to go back to 1.1.12 or to run both versions?

Regards

If you installed through your distro's package manager, use that to go back to the older version. Where you will find the older packages depends on your distro, which you neglected to tell us.

If you compiled Wine yourself, just compile the older version and install it.

As for running multiple versions, see my answer to the other post that asked that question today.
