Harm_VeenstraThanks, but if I run the installer manually it can overwrite the existing installation so not sure why I would need to manually uninstall the older version.  Do you know what this error code means?

Not sure, it looks like it tells you that the user cancelled the installation? You do run it as system I think?

      And on a system with the old version installed, when you run the install script of the new version manually as administrator.. It does install/update? No prompts?

        Thanks very much! I ran the installer before not using the same script and it worked. But I found other issues with the installer file itself (was same version as one already installed). Started from scratch and now it works. That error code meant it was already installed but I was detecting a new version which is why it was failing. Thanks for responding so quickly!
