How to downgrade?

Hi all,

I'm trying to downgrade back to v3, but the v3 installer keeps telling me I need to uninstall v4, however, the Parallels folder does not contain an uninstall app. How do I uninstall Parallels v4? It seems simply dragging it to my trash doesn't delete it (which I guessed, but tried anyway). Any help is appreciated!
 
How to downgrade

I do not know about you, but the reply does not seem to answer the original question ...
 
Dear Sir,

Have you applied the article?

In case that did not help please try to do the following:

- download the Parallels Desktop 4,0 .dmg file on our website (or probably you have that file in /downloads or in some other location)
- right click on the file, you will see installation window (several options like install, uninstall and so on)
Please select uninstall Parallels Desktop

- after that please download the last build of Parallels Desktop 3.0 5626 http://download.parallels.com/v3/en/GA/Parallels-Desktop-5626-Mac-en.dmg

And double click and install it.


Let me know if that helps you.

I tried the solution in the article yesterday, but it didn't help. Also, I got an error while executing the script:

The error is obvious, I run Tiger, not Leopard.

The Parallels 3 installer still tells me Parallels 4 is installed. I'll download the v4 dmg and try the uninstall from that one.
