That's strange, when i use HPSUM or VCA/ VCRM it always updates the SMH and not add an other version of the same package. Did you try to updste with HPSUM ?

In Add/remove programme only one version exist but it could be anyone. .. not the latest installed.
On disk there are remains from old versions and SCCM inventory is capturing them. Also Nessus vulnerability scan sees these old versions as vulnerabilities.
I have tried manual installation with hpsum , I also pushed the package with SCCM software distribution both do not un install the old versions...really strange. ..

You could run uninstall batchfiles to cleanup the old installers. That is if there is enough left to uninstall these SMH versions. These scripts need to be run with some deployment tool. A real cleanup from is is not available i'm afraid.

SCCM will be the deployment tool I will use.
Where could I find the un install for each versions without un installing the latest one? Do they have different GUID? Different names?
msiexec /uinstall has not been very successful so far...
Thanks for your help

Are they all located in the same directory then ? I would think in one directory there can be only one version of the SMH. Are the binaries of all versions still there or is it a registry scan ?
