ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_VERSION

ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_VERSION means that the Windows Installer service cannot process this package with the installed engine version. It is a compatibility issue between the package requirements and the installer runtime.

What to check

Confirm the Windows version and servicing level supported by the package vendor.
Check whether the package was built for a newer Windows Installer feature set or platform than the target system supports.
Do not edit the package database merely to bypass the version check; obtain a supported package or update path.
