Your recipe is attempting to overcall a core module. This is causing a mismatch because the core version is mandatory.

The version you are trying to apply a module to is 5.6.1, which was a product for Windows XP, and has been end of life since 2007. You can’t update 5.6. You can’t do anything much with that build now. It can’t even talk to PPM, and PPM for 5.6 has been decommissioned since 2010. You will have to remove it and replace it with a version that’s a lot newer.
