I am having this error when I run Node.js v4.2.3 installer. I previously had Node.js v5.2.0 stable. I decided to go to lower version for some reason. I completely removed Node.js v5.2.0 completely as indicated here.

Now when I run the installer for v4.2.3, it says I have later version installed already. But no signs and trace of node in my computer.

Any ideas what else I might have missed? Thank you!

Maybe you should try to reinstall node v5.2.0 then using [n](https://www.npmjs.com/package/n) to manage node version – Trung Dec 10 '15 at 02:44
which operating system is this? Linux? – JGCW Dec 10 '15 at 02:58
They're using Windows, so `n` wouldn't work out of the box since it's a giant bash script. – mscdex Dec 10 '15 at 03:37

Has anyone here encountered this problem? This only means I still have node.js in my computer. I want it to be removed completely. – Neon Warge Dec 10 '15 at 03:56

if you are going to really switch between different node.js version i would recommend using nvm. Its an handy tool for such jobs. – sathya Narrayanan Dec 10 '15 at 07:02
