How do I rollback ABP Studio to a prior version? #10307

I am trying to find an installer for ABP Studio 1.4.2. We are not ready to migrate to .NET 10 and even if we use 'Change Version' in ABP Studio the new solutions are all version 10. Base on: https://abp.io/support/questions/8627/Install-specific-version-of-ABP-Studio and https://abp.io/support/questions/10250/What-is-the-procedure-to-roll-back-ABP-Studio-to-a-prior-version

It appears we need to generate the URL based on the release number..

I tried to create a link but it appears there is no 'beta' for 1.4.2 and I tried 'release'. https://abp.io/api/abp-studio/download/r/windows/abp-studio-1.4.2-beta-full.nupkg https://abp.io/api/abp-studio/download/r/windows/abp-studio-1.4.2-release-full.nupkg

Is there a published list of all APB Studio versions and their download link so that we can easily find and download the correct version. This is needed because we need to uninstall and re-install constantly to change versions.

    1. Solution
    • There is no publicly published list of all ABP Studio installers (with direct download links) at the moment.
    • What you can rely on today is:
      • The version mapping page, to see which Studio version maps to which ABP version.
      • Specific direct download URLs for versions that the team exposes on the feed (like 1.4.2).

    1. Get ABP Studio 1.4.2

    For ABP Studio 1.4.2, the correct Windows installer package is:

    https://abp.io/api/abp-studio/download/r/windows/abp-studio-1.4.2-stable-full.nupkg
    

    You can:

    1. Download that file.
    2. Place it under:
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\abp-studio\packages\
    
    1. Run (from PowerShell):
    $installdir = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\abp-studio"
       $updateExe = Join-Path $installdir "Update.exe"
       $package = Join-Path $installdir "packages\abp-studio-1.4.2-stable-full.nupkg"
    
       & $updateExe apply --package $package
    

    This will “roll back” / switch your local ABP Studio to 1.4.2.

    Note: Your earlier attempts with -beta and -release fail because those packages are not present on the feed. For 1.4.2 you must use the -stable channel.


    2. How to find the right Studio version for a given ABP version

    To decide which Studio version you need for a specific ABP version (e.g. 9.3.7):

    • Use the official version mapping documentation:

      • https://abp.io/docs/latest/studio/version-mapping

    That page tells you:

    • Which ABP Studio version maps to which ABP template version.
    • For example, it shows that Studio 1.4.2 maps to ABP 9.3.6 (and that there is no separate “9.3.7 Studio” – latest Studio will use 10.0.x).

    Once you know the Studio version, you can:

    • Ask support (as in the referenced Q&As) or
    • Try a URL with the correct {version}-{channel}-full.nupkg pattern:
    https://abp.io/api/abp-studio/download/r/windows/abp-studio-{version}-{channel}-full.nupkg
    

    …where {channel} is typically stable for released builds like 1.4.2.


    3. About a full list of all Studio installers

    Currently:

    • There is no official, browsable catalog of all ABP Studio .nupkg installers exposed publicly.
    • The practical workflow is:
      1. Look up the desired ABP version → Studio version using the version mapping page.
      2. Use or request the corresponding direct download URL (like the 1.4.2-stable URL above).
      3. Apply the package via Update.exe as shown.

    If you need regular switching between multiple versions, you can keep multiple downloaded .nupkg files and write a small PowerShell script that just swaps $version and $channel and calls Update.exe apply --package ....
