You may also want to run MsiInv to see what applications the
installer may be picking up. Sometimes the different apps or
remains of some apps don't show up in Add/Remove Programs.
The installer can pick up on those and throw the error you
are getting. MsInv should pick that up. For more info, check
the following article and follow the links in that article:
