How to Roll Back Blue Iris 5 to an Older Version: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're a user of Blue Iris 5, you may have encountered situations where you need to roll back to an earlier version. Whether due to bugs or compatibility issues, knowing how to do this can be a lifesaver. In this article, we'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to roll back Blue Iris 5 to an older version.

Before we dive into the process, it's essential to note that if you have a different operating system, you will need to download CURL from 'download GetBI5v2.zip or previous versions'. If your computer has Windows 10 version 1803 or higher, then the OS now comes with a copy of CURL.

The Batch file GetBI5v2.CMD uses CURL to download files from the Blue Iris website. To start the process, double-click on the Update64_v5.xx.xx.xx.exe or Update32_v5.xx.xx.xx.exe file for the previous version of Blue Iris 5.

Next, navigate to the drive and folder location where you are storing your previous versions and backups of Blue Iris 5. Double-clicking on the 'Blueiris_v5.xx.xx.xx.reg' file would write Blue Iris 5 settings for that version back to the Windows registry.

To make things easier, I created a batch file called BackupBI5v2.CMD to backup Blue Iris 5 settings using REGEDIT to a REG file that includes the version as part of the filename in the format of 'Blueiris_v5.xx.xx.xx.reg'. This method adds restoring Blue Iris 5 settings from a previous version to the process.

In most cases, this is all you need to do to roll back Blue Iris 5 to an earlier version. You just need to find an early version of Update64_v5.xx.xx.xx.exe or Update32_v5.xx.xx.xx.exe and double-click on it. In order to roll back your version to an earlier version, you do not need to re-install the full version of Blue Iris 5.

The purpose of this batch file is to help you download and maintain an archive of older versions of Blue Iris 5 installations and update files in the event that you need to roll back your current version of Blue Iris 5 to an earlier version. Since GetBI5v2.CMD can only determine the version after downloading each file, I only recommend running this batch file manually when you know there is a new version available.

GetBI5v2.CMD is a Windows batch file script that downloads the latest version Blue Iris 5's full version installer (Blueiris.exe), 32-bit Update (Update32.exe) and 64-bit Update (Update64.exe) from 'Blue Iris website' and renames each one to include the version as part of the filename.

By following these steps, you should be able to roll back Blue Iris 5 to an older version without any issues. Remember to always keep a backup of your settings and data to ensure that you don't lose any important information during the process.
