Sudio installation error: Setup has detected a higher version of this product already installed

Dead SDL,

I uninstalled Studio 2019 and when I try to reinstall I receive the following error message:

Error message during Trados Studio 2019 SR2 installation stating 'Setup did not complete. The error is: Setup has detected a higher version of this product already installed. If you still wish to install this version, you must remove the other version first.' with an OK button.

I tried the solution indicated in the SDL Community, but it doesn't work. How can I solve (short of formatting the HD)?

Thank you for your assistance and kind regards.

  • Hi Paul,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    The solutions at the link you posted are those I already tried. The first one (running the .msi files) didn't bring any results, while the second one (running the latest installer) generated another error message:

    Error message in SDL Trados Studio 2019 stating 'An error occurred and the program was aborted. FormatException: The version of suite 'TranslationStudio2019' must be of the form x.y.z.' with an OK button.

    and the log:

    Unfortunately, it seems to be a problem that dates back to Studio 2015 but I couldn't find any other solutions apart from those in the link you mentioned.

    I know that formatting the HD seems a bit drastic, however I learned that sometimes it's the fastest and cleaner solution with this type of problems.

    Thanks again & kind regards
