It seems that you're mixing up the VIP versions for Victoria (=VIP) and Victoria Revolutions (=VIP:R). IIRC from working with the VIP:R 0.4 files it wasn't necessary to have an older (outdated) version of the mod installed...
I'm quoting here from the (slightly) outdated
Vicky wiki:
(the latest version for Victoria Revolutions is ofc 0.4 =VIP:R 0.4)
Have you Victoria or Victoria Revolutions installed on your PC? If you still haven't got Revolutions, get it ASAP. Almost all mods migrated to Revolutions when the expansion was released. You won't be disappointed. ;-)
PS: It would be nice if you'd give a short descriptions of
every uploaded file so that it's clear for which version of the game it's intended.
