    We are attempting a retrograde from FCS3 to FCS2 and cannot get the install to complete.

    Have tried FCS Remover to no avail.

    Anyone have a bulletproof method for this?

    [Pat McGowan] “Anyone have a bulletproof method for this?”

    My “bulletproof” method is to clone my system drive before I install the upgrade, then if I need to revert back, I can simply boot from the backup. If necessary, I can format my system drive & clone the backup back to that.

    If you’re really in need of going backwards, you may need to reformat your drive & reinstall from the ground up.

    did you try CleanApp to pull off the old installation? As well as FCS remover.

    Non-linear: all the time and nothing but.

    tried FCS remover, no go, ended up using Carbon Copy Cloner to clone a different sys drive and then simply applied the new SER#, worksed like a charm.
