You are getting this message because the installer thinks you have a
newer version of this package on your system. Do you?
No, the person that installs is a customer that has not any folder
with the name "My Company Name" (replace with the real company name)
The installer is not checking the files that will be installed, it's
checking the /Library/Receipts directory for a pkg receipt that
matches the package you're installing.
It searches by CFBundleID and then package name, so your package is
probably matching some other package that the user has previously
installed.
Or it could be matching your own package that the use has previously
installed, if you have not been maintaining the version in the .pkg
bundle.

are the version numbers? (CFBundleShortVersionString, IFMajorVersion,
IFMinorVersion)
the file that is to be installed is an old CFM shared lib file
that lacks everything such as CFBundleShortVersionString,
IFMajorVersion, IFMinorVersion etc
so there is no version information available at all,
this error message is strange
Again, the version is the version of the package, not the files being
installed by the package.
