    When I run the program update it works but when I run Windows updates it does not. Should I reinstall or do a system restore?

    A System Restore using a recent restore point might work.

    Looks like you made a good decision:

    ERROR_PRODUCT_VERSION 1638 (0x666) Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.
