Downgrade version of NI steptypes in a sequence

Question

We have a sequence , which includes the NI Action step in version 3.1.0.2 ,NI PassFailtest in Version 3.1.0.2 and  EditSubstep in version 3.1.0.9098
This sequence should be modified on  a on a clean Teststand 3.1 installation with NI Action step in version 3.1.0.1 ,NI PassFailtest in Version 3.1.0.1 and EditSubstep in version 3.1.0.9095.  Just opening that sequence on 3.1 and saving it causes the Teststand 3.1 installation ( ni_types.ini )to be upgraded to the newer versions.  Any way to avoid that ?

Hi markus
It seems you have been affected by a type virus.

In this thread there is a link to tookit. (I dont know if this is working under TS3.1)
If this is not working. Try this.
1.) Use a clean TS3.1 (best reinstall)
2.) Start your editor (now clean Steps are loaded)
3.) Load your SeqFile
4.) Now - Type conflict
5.) Be sure that "use currently loaded.." is selected.
6.) Do not click Apply all just do it step by step to see which type is affected
7.) Save your SeqFile
8.) Close the editor no savings to NI-Steptypes should appear.
9.) Reopen with no conflicts.
If your production machines now having conflicts they are infected, too.
If a copy from clean NI Types would not help, re-install and pray for more project money
Good luck
