In order to change the current ClearCase installation options using the Add/Remove Programs, you need to reference the installation location.
The cause of this error results from the Release Area version not being in sync with the version installed on the host.
For example, in this case, the client has ClearCase 7.0.0.1 installed (installed update to the local host), but the release area from which the client was installed was only at version 7.0.
Resolving The Problem
In order to change the current installation options using the ADD/Remove Programs method, your release area must be at the same patch level as the client.
Option #1: Update the release area to incorporate the same patch level as the client and attempt to change the client installation option again.
Option #2: Uninstall the client and reinstall from the release area selecting the preferred options.
