Software Update Control Panel

[StarBuck]

Ok my question is does anyone know how to fool the installer into thinking that the system is a older version i.e.

I have 10.1.1 installed how could I make it think I have 10.1 running not 10.1.1 so that I can reinstall it.

I already have the download file but I remember on wincent.org a while back they showed how to do it and for the life of me I cannot remember.

Thanks

You can do it by deleting the reciepts located in /Library/Receipts
Software update will think it needs to download the updates and will.

Ok I used the terminal to login as a SU and deleted the update.pkg in the receipts folder.

Any other ideas

That used to work for me. I found something else that might work though:

There's a file in Users/youruser/Library/Preferences/Software Update
called softwareupdate.log

In mine I found:
<dict>
<key>DATE</key>
<date>2001-12-21T03:10:33Z</date>
<key>STATUS</key>
<string>Updated Successfully</string>
<key>UPDATE_NAME</key>
<string>Mac OS X Update</string>
<key>VERSION</key>
<string>10.1.2</string>
</dict>

MAYBE, if you delete that it might work but I don't know.

It seems Apple has changed how they check for previous updates.
