If I'm not mistaken, if you're trying to revert to an earlier release (of the same version), you have uninstall the newer one first -- otherwise the normal operation of an installer (which checks versioning of components to avoid overwriing a newer revision with an older one) will prevent installation of an earlier revision of the same component.
