1.10.0. Fixing a Failed Upgrade

In rare cases when upgrading within minor versions (for example 3.0 to 3.0.3), the upgrade may fail to overwrite old files, resulting in random or bizarre behaviors and crashing. The fix for this problem is to completely uninstall and manually remove remaining files before installing the upgrade again.

Windows

To uninstall on Windows, run the Add/Remove Programs control panel to uninstall Wing IDE. Then go into the directory where Wing was located and manually remove any remaining folders and files.

Linux RPM

If you installed Wing IDE for Linux from RPM, issue the command rpm -e wingide3.1. Then go into /usr/lib/wingide3.1 and remove any remaining files and directories.

Linux Debian

If you installed Wing IDE for Linux from Debian package, issue the command dpkg -r wingide3.1. Then go into /usr/lib/wingide3.1 and remove any remaining files and directories.

Linux Tar

If you installed Wing IDE for Linux from the tar distribution, find your Wing installation directory and run the wing-uninstall script located there. Once done, manually remove any remaining files and directories.

Mac OS X

On Mac OS X, just drag the entire Wing IDE application folder to the trash.
