  4701 is March 2015. You cannot install April 2014, of course. For the July 2015 CU, you may want to try installing each individual MSI one by one.

  Hi，

  After install SP1, I can install CU April 2015 KB2965266.

  For your issue, try to restart the server and install the CU April 2015 KB2965266 again.

  Download cu from here：

  Hi Manoj,

  Thank you for your reply but if I want to do what you suggest in your blog then I have to uninstall the service pack 1 (SP1) since SharePoint doesn't accept an older CU than SP1 when SP1 it already installed.

  Any idea?

  Best regards

  As I'm sure you're aware, you cannot uninstall SharePoint patches once they're applied to the system. You can only update to a newer patch. It might be helpful if you provided the entire output of Central Admin -> Upgrade and Migration -> Check product and patch installation status.

  Hi Trevor,

  Thank you for your input and suggestion. Now I have resolved it by uninstalling and reinstalling the all the language packs I had installed on the farm (4 language packs) with their SP1 as follow:

  Uninstalling the language packs one by one, ran config wizard between them, checked if there were any issue and fixed it. Reinstalled  the language packs one by one, ran config wizard between the installation of each language pack and checked if there were any issue.

  Still I got the same error message with version. I ran reparation of the language pack which took almost 3 hours. The reparation was failed but I ran config wizard anyway. The config wizard failed as well with missing all the language packs on the other machine. 
  Finally I ran cmdlet:

  psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force 

  which could not fix all of the problems but I could then run the config wizard successful.

  After that I ran the installation of  CU April 2015 KB2965266 without getting the version mismatch anymore.

  Thanks for all of you who tried to help me :)

  Best regards
