Error while installing: “The older version of primalscript 2017 cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.”
Install file: PSR17Setup_7.3.104_070117_x64 & PSR17Setup_7.3.103_052217_x64
OS: Windows 7 6.1.7601
Screen shot attached

I tried to remove as many traces of PrimalScript 2016 & 2017 as I could from the file system and registry, but it hasn't helped.

It could be as simple as a lingering file lock. Try rebooting and uninstalling afterwards.
It also seems you have our installfix tool in your folder. Try removing it with that.

Reboot did not resolve. The installfix tool shows no Sapien products installed.

what, exactly, is being found that triggers the error?
Is there a way to over-ride it?

To be honest, I wouldn't really know. This is Windows Installer stuff. Only Microsoft would really know and the documentation is rudimentary.
There are a few installer registry entries that normally tell Windows what is installed. The installfix tool removes those.
Does the control panel show installed applications?

Run the installer like this:
PSR17Setup_7.3.104_070117_x64.exe /qn /L*V "Installer.log"

Look at the log file and see if you can discover something that holds it up. If not, please post it here.

Good tips, that it's an MSI install and on the verbose logging. I'll give it a run and let you know what I find.

OK, here's what I found. I removed this registry key and the installation was successful after that.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\FFE2B749F5A13F747830F498B65CFF41

The log entries below let me to the resolution. {BTW, the message was misleading. It was PrimalScript2016.x64.msi that was failing to run.}

Glad you were able to fix it. And yes, Windows Installer error message usually point in the wrong direction
