Unable to Replace Times New Roman Font on Windows 8.1

While trying to replace Times New Roman font I'm getting the following message.

Action 8:34:26: InstallFiles. Copying new files
MSI (s) (D4:E4) [08:34:26:992]: Product: FontInstall. The application tried to install a more recent version of the protected Windows file C:\Windows\Fonts\times.ttf. You may need to update your operating system for this application to work correctly. (Package Version: 65535.0.0.0, Operating System Protected Version: 6.85.0.0).

Is there any other way I can do this?

You should not be replacing a system font. It is used by multiple applications and applications expect a font to behave in a particular manner and have specific properties. You should only install a font if it does not already exist.

Also, Font faces are protected by copyright. Windows is preventing you from doing something that is illegal.
