How to uninstall 4.5 and reinstall 4.0

I'm looking for an archive to download DS 4.0 with complimenting 4.0 plug ins and can't seem to find it. I've been terribly disappointed with DS 4.5, including the new update and would prefer to just go back to 4.0 if possible.

My reasons are :
1) new file format isn't a favorite, seems things get corrupted often
2) can no longer animate morphs made with z-brush
3) 4.5 crashes much more frequently, many occasions during rendering, at least once every time I start up after a reboot
4) biggest one - altering anything in z-brush and making a morph, if you save the file it completely destroys the object when you reload it - saving the file basically turns the object into a huge box of nothingness. unacceptable.

I'm sure there are a TON of features and fixes that many enjoy in 4.5, for me, it isn't worth being unable to create morphs properly in z-brush and have them saved, and being unable to animate those morphs. These things worked in 4.0 and would be happy to go back.

Thanks!

    If you reset your 4.5 order, it should give you both 4.5 and 4.0 downloads.
    Regarding 1) if you are going from a daz scene, re-save the file a second time. It's not normal to lose morph animation capability. For 4) are you sure the scales are preserved? It may have lost the file location somehow. I'd file bug reports.

    Thank you, I was able to install a previous version of Daz, although could only find the 32-bit version. =\

    I have DS 4.0.3.47 installed now, however, I cannot find a compatible GoZ plug in for it. I reset my downloads for studio but unfortunately it just keeps giving me download links to 4.5 items. Frustrating.

    I know 4.5 is awesome for 99.99% and I don't expect Daz to drop everything to work on my issues. I would however be highly appreciative if there was an easy way to go back to the older version of the software AND plug ins.

    If anyone has any insight that would rock!

    Thanks for replies so far

    If resetting doesn't give the 4.0.3.47 files as well as the 4.5.1.6 ones (check if they're just on the next page, there are a good number of files), you'll need to contact support to get the older plugin installers.
