Hi Chris,
>>Windows Installer does not permit patching of managed advertised products. At least one feature of the product must be installed before applying the patch."
Before going further, does the software get uninstalled? According to me, this can be caused by the fact that some registry entries of the software linger on the clients after uninstalling.
Here, we can refer to the following thread to tackle the issue.

If the above suggestion doesn't help, for this involves third party product, in order to get better help, we may also contact vendor support to ask for advice.
