[GIS] Is it possible to rollback an ArcGIS Pro Update instead of uninstalling/reinstalling

arcgis-proinstallation

I had a moment of weakness today agreed to update my ArcGIS Professional with the latest version: 1.0.0.1808. But unfortunately, it is crashing so bad that its unusable and I need to rollback. Is this possible or is my only option to uninstall completely and reinstall from an earlier version?

If I have to reinstall, can I install and then update to a specific version but not the latest version? I have the 1.0.0.1472 installer.

Is there a list of ArcGIS Pro releases versions and when they were released?

Best Answer

As of today, there are 3 releases of ArcGIS Pro:

  • 1.0.0 (1808)
  • 1.0.1 (patch)
  • 1.0.2 (patch)

1.1 (full release) will be available shortly. The help landing page will always mention the newest (current) version. The closest item to a list of versions released, and when they were released can be found here on the support-patches website.

For the 1.0.x versions of ArcGIS Pro, no, you cannot roll back from one version to another. You'd have to uninstall and download the old one. In 1.1 and onward, this may change (ability to remove patch), but since 1.1 and any potential patches haven't been released, I can't confirm this will happen.

As for choosing a specific version/patch:

  • I don't have access to the download site, so I cannot confirm what you get/see on there.
  • Using the "updates" option built into Pro will always update to the most recent patch available. You cannot select a specific patch/version.
