AUDIO ARCHITECT installation failing; newer SQL present
Table of Contents
Symptom:
Audio Architect installer halts and displays error indicating a newer version of SQL is already present.
Resolution:
If he has a newer version visual studio that may have installed some newer versions of the Microsoft software that doesn’t like the older version. They should check add/remove programs for any newer version of SQL Server Compact 4.0, net framework (later than 4.6) and C++. If those are present then he will probably need to uninstall those run the installer and then reinstall those applications once everything works.
Other things to try:
- Perform a Clean boot of Windows.

- Uninstall any newer versions of .net framework or C++ then run the installer again.
- Run the installer as administrator
- Try installing Audio Architect 2.25.0- This installs an earlier version of these components. You can then reinstall any other software that uses the later versions of the components.
