When I try to run the installer xk6-browser-v0.5.0-windows-amd64.msi that I downloaded on my Windows 10. Getting the below message.
“A later version of k6-browser is already installed. Setup will now exit”.
How to uninstall the installed k6-browser and install it again from the .msi file.
You can uninstall the previous version of xk6-browser (which was installed via the msi package) by following the steps below (these steps were copied from Microsoft’s Windows support page):

Hi @ankur, I have installed xk6-browser using the below command previously (not via the via the msi package). Now while trying to install the xk6-browser via .msi package.
# Install xk6
go install go.k6.io/xk6/cmd/xk6@latest
# Build the xk6-browser binary
xk6 build --output xk6-browser --with GitHub - grafana/xk6-browser: k6 extension that adds support for browser automation and end-to-end web testing via the Chrome Devtools Protocol
Hi @ankur
I was unable to update my k6 binary using go command.
PS C:\Windows\System32> k6 version
k6 v0.43.1 ((devel), go1.20.5, windows/amd64)
Extensions:
GitHub - grafana/xk6-dashboard: A k6 extension that enables creating web based metrics dashboard for k6 v0.4.3, dashboard [output]
Hi @carlo,
You can’t update the k6 binary with a go command, although i’m curious what command you were running and what you were expecting?
How did you install k6 in the first place?
You can find the docs on how to install k6 here: Installation

I have the same issue. Now I have the latest version installed which can be seen in apps but k6 version still returns the old version. As a result I’m stuck with experimental browser version and can’t use the new features. Please can you provide any suggestions how to resolve this?
K6 uninstall hadn’t cleaned up the previous installs fully. Deleting the leftover files manually and reinstalling did the trick.
