3.1.5: Cannot install a product when a newer version is installed.

See original GitHub issue

Can’t install 3.1.5 (both 3.1.105 and 3.1.301) due to the following error: Error 0x80070666: Cannot install a product when a newer version is installed.

But actually neither of them are installed:

@glennamanns that’s a valid point, the message can definitely be improved in the SDK.

I found myself in need of 3.1.401 (x64) and I had 3.1.402 (x64) installed. I accidentally installed 3.1.401 x86 (this completed successfully). After uninstalling that, I attempted to install 3.1.401 x64, and kept running into this error. I assumed something had been left behind by the 3.1.401 x86 installation and spent a long time looking for leftover files until I found this GitHub issue.

These are definitely rookie errors of mine, but it would have been really helpful if the error message indicated that downgrading within band is not supported.
