Anyone knows how to download a older version of Cold Turkey Blocker? (4.5) To make this script work...

Hi everyone,

I was previously using Cold Turkey Blocker version 4.7. I completely uninstalled it using BCUninstaller, then tried installing versions 4.5 and 4.6. However, I'm still getting the same error every time I launch the app:

Error Reading Database
The database where your settings are stored is locked and can't be read. Try opening Cold Turkey Blocker in a few seconds.

I’ve already checked the task manager and made sure no background processes are running.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

@xtiigma the same happened with me, i couldnt solve it

Already tried deleting the db file itself?

Already tried deleting the db file itself?

Of course, with the uninstaller delete the entire folder
