Thank you for reaching the community forum.
Can you confirm if this is a fresh installation or a re-installation on the said device?
Can you share the installation logs here on this post for both components, which can be found in temp folders?

Thank you for getting back to us. It is given that you'll get this kind of error message when there are still old Sophos components left on the device when performing reinstallation. As advised by PhilippRusch.You can try removing the said path and update.
Once you've removed it, start a force update on the endpoint and wait if it’ll recorrect its installation error.
If above steps don’t work. We need to remove the endpoint on the device and re-install. We will focus later on why uninstallation is not successful.
