When I perform a revert to a previous version using the Installation History I lose my RCP application binary and all features/plugins associated with the product.

The actual revert processes proceeds with no errors, but on restart the application fails to load and the directory tree has all the important files missing including the eclipse binary.

The same problem in PDT: Install 3.7.2 -> update to 4.2 -> revert back to 3.7.2

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
