Catalina: uninstall Wacom driver to update to latest version

Having issues running install of latest version of Wacom Driver 6.3.40-2 (macOS 10.12 - 10.15)

94.0 MB 6/29/2020


Have tried fixing like explained here.


as well as looked to everything named wWacom with find from a terminal and removed such files/directories:


find / \( -name '*wacom*' -o -name '*Wacom*' \) -exec rm -rf {} \;


and rebooted, but still no luck, still getting the 'a previous version is installed' when attempting to install latest version from Wacom.


Why the H... is Wacom driver so difficult to patch, it su..s big time ImHO...


Any hints really appreciated, TIA!

Found an older version of Bamboo from 2010 under Application, thus removing this Installer would run only though to fail final installation due to some permission issue possible in root directory "/", this is found in install.log after trial installation:
