I’m on the final version of Mojave. Mac Pro 5,1 (2009 4,1 flashed to 5,1).

The final update broke a piece of vital software that I use.

I need to roll back one point version.

I cannot do this via a Time Machine restore as I’ll lose too many new files and plug ins etc.

Is there a place where all Mojave OS update increments are available as installers?

thanks.

You can start the download of the 10.14.4, 10.14.5 or 10.14.6 installer from Terminal with

Code:
open "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preferences.softwareupdate?installMajorOSVersion=10.14.4"

Code:
open "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preferences.softwareupdate?installMajorOSVersion=10.14.5"

Code:
open "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preferences.softwareupdate?installMajorOSVersion=10.14.6"

You can also use gibMacOS https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS

Thanks! Unfortunately, Sys Prefs tells me the version isn't available. Does anyone know of another way?

Cheers.

...if anyone else is looking 10.4.5 is available directly from the Apple website. Lol.

Yes that’s the one. I’m assuming I can install this over 10.14.6. Am I right?
No, that's only to upgrade 10.14-10.14.4 to 10.14.5. It won't even allow you install in 10.14.6.
There's no supported way to downgrade like this. Even if you can find a full installer of an older version that allows you to install, it still won't downgrade everything that's newer.
