Installing Everything silently doesn't remove the old version

[KernalCheddar]

I push the new client silently but it doesn't remove the old version, it just adds the new one, so now I have users with multiple versions of the software on their machine. why would this be happening? Below is the line I'm using to install it:

Everything-1.4.1.1005.x64-setup.exe /S -install-options "-install-config Everything.ini -install-client-service -install-desktop-shortcut -disable-run-as-admin -install-efu-association -install-folder-context-menu -install-run-on-system-startup -install-service -install-start-menu-shortcuts -install-url-protocol"

You didn't specify a directory to install to.
So maybe the (default) install to location has changed?
(Suppose ? something like that could happen if you switched from x86 to x64 version?)

Into what directories are the old & new versions installed into?

What is left over from the old version?
Is there an old Start menu shortcut?
Is there an old Desktop shortcut?

Uninstalling Everything

Sorry for the delay on this, after a second look it looks like the software does actually update correctly, it just leaves a listing for the old version if programs and features. weird. any thoughts on how to remove it? trying to "uninstall" the old version breaks the new one.

I've not used it, but you can see what (Nirsoft's) ShortcutsMan might do?

ShortcutsMan displays the details about all shortcuts that you have on your desktop and under your start menu. Broken shortcuts (shortcuts that point to file that doesn't exist) are automatically painted with pink color. You select one or more shortcuts, and then delete them, resolve them or save the shortcut's details to HTML/Text/XML file.

Everything uses the following registry keys to be listed in Programs and Features:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Everything
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Everything

The Wow6432Node one is used when you install the x86 version of Everything on a x64 OS.

Please check if you have installed the x86 or x64 version. (Help -> About)

If you have installed the x64 version, please delete the:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Everything
key to remove the duplicated Everything from Programs and Features.
