I had Xcode 2.0 and WO 5.2.4 installed on my laptop, but I wanted to find out if I could run Xcode 2.2 without upgrading WO to 5.3. I foolishly decided to remove what I had already installed and do a fresh install of Xcode instead of an upgrade. So I did the following:

- uninstalled WO
- uninstalled Xcode
- installed Xcode 2.2

Did you by chance install WO 5.3 with Xcode 2.2? WO 5.3 is not installed by default, but is an optional install.

- installed WO 5.2
- installed WO 5.2.4

At this point the WO 5.2.4 install failed with an "ISDOWNGRADE" error.

I see where this is occurring in the WO524Developer.pkg/Contents/ WO524Developer.dist XML file. But I don't understand why the installer thinks that a downgrade is occurring.

I guess my uninstalls (using the WO uninstaller and the uninstall- devtools.pl script) didn't get rid of everything.

That's my guess. Uninstalling correctly can be very difficult. You might want to look in /Library/Receipts for anything suspicious. However, the WO 5.2.4 installer probably wouldn't have known about the WO 5.3 installer package receipts, so it's probably not looking for such receipts.

I tried to downgrade an Xcode 2.2/WO 5.3 partition to Xcode 2.1/WO 5.2.4 and failed (I believe the downgrade installations appeared to succeed, but runtime errors occurred). I ended up wiping the partition clean and reinstalling OS X, Xcode 2.1, and WO 5.2.4.

Aloha,
