I want to downgrade to SL3 on my Mac after accidently installing SL4 Beta. I've tried the SL3 uninstall procedure:

rm -rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/Silverlight.plugin
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/Silverlight*.pkg
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Microsoft/Silverlight

But still get an error message when I try to install SL3 saying there is a newer version there.

Anyone got any input on how to do this ?

The answer to my problem was to remove SL receipts:

sudo rm /private/var/db/receipts/com.microsoft.installSilverlightPlugin*
