Uninstalling MAMP PRO

I have been using MAMP PRO successfully for over a year. Recently, when I attempted to start MAMP PRO, it would not start. I attempted to "restore" and that did not work. Appsolute tech support suggested to uninstall and install the new version. The MAMP PRO uninstall program did not work. I get the "privileged action failed" error message. I found this solution on "stackoverflow"

  1. Delete the appsolute directory from /Library/Application Support , which contains configuration files that are created upon MAMP Pro installation
  2. Delete the file hosts.mamp.bak in /etc, which is the MAMP hosts backup file
  3. Delete the MAMP directory from /Applications/MAMP
  4. Open the MAMP Pro Uninstaller, check all five options, and click to uninstall

I followed these instructions except I did not find "hosts.mamp.bak in the /etc folder...the folder was empty (I have since gone back to look again and I can't find the etc folder!). Anyway, I am still unable to run the MAMP PRO uninstaller. I am reluctant to try to install the newest version until this issue is resolved. Any suggestions? I am running OS X 10.8.5.

Okay...for any interested party, I ended up using the following link provided by Appsolute....mamp.info/en/downloads/older-versions The older version is 2.2. I installed it using my original registration number and re-established my database. Everything seems to be working again.
