Does Pollination prevent uninstalling LB 1.8?

Revit Plugin
1

Has anyone else experienced problems with uninstalling LB v1.8 with pollination installed. to prevent doubling up of icons with the new LB 1.9?
I’ve tried running the uninstall script for LB which says it worked but it didn’t.
Do I need to uninstall pollination to uninstall LB 1.8?

Hey @robm,

Pollination doesn’t know about the version of Ladybug Tools. I’m a bit confused since you have posted this under the Revit plugin category but let me give it a try, and you let me know what I’m missing. :slight_smile:

Here are the scenarios when you use the Pollination installers:

  1. When you install Pollination Rhino or Grasshopper plugin, it tries to remove the older versions of Ladybug Tools Grasshopper plugins.
  2. When you install Pollination Revit plugin, it doesn’t do anything related to the Ladybug Tools Grasshopper plugins.

If you use one of the recent Pollination Rhino installers it should install LBT 1.9 as part of the package. If you see an older installation, it is most likely because they have been installed with an older method that has copied the user objects under the %username% folder. In that case, you have to uninstall them manually.

Hope it helps!

thanks Mostapha, I suspected it wasn’t connected.

I’ve also managed to uninstall LB 1.8. I just needed to make sure all folders were deleted (there were several few in various c drive locations).
