    Another version of this product is already installed


    I keep receiving this error when trying to install new versions of programs I currently have installed.

    I'm trying to up these programs: Windows 7 Codecs

    Media

    Here's a screenshot, any ideas or an update/workaround for this?

    Please help.

    Is this clearly an update to the program or a new version? If the latter have you tried uninstalling the Program first in Control Panel, then reboot to try installing the new version?

    BTW Are you a sound engineer or other specialist in this field because WMP has almost all codecs already.

    Both, but it always upgrades/updates itself during the install and never prompts me for a rebbot.

    No, and I need the codec pack to experiment with playback with different file types.
