Try bypassing the prompt since it may be simple mismatch of hash of original installer and the copy , which is being installed.(due to version mismattch)
Looks like they are testing your debugging skills/approach. Some general guidelines in debugging(customize as per your specific scenario)

3. Version and other compatibility information between components.
4. Event logs, application logs or installer logs.
5. Access to code and appropriate debugging tools.
6. Isolating the source of the error - sometimes it is available in the message. if not you have to do some detective work.
