Sorry, my bad for not following up. Sage is smarter than we give credit them credit for (at times).
Though I still question why unsupported GL installs when the client is current with PR. What has changed in GL?
No can do on v2021. On to plan "C"

@Jeff Schwenk were you able to get Payroll 2.26 to install to a version of Sage 100 earlier than 2021?

Looks like I will be the pioneer unless someone else has been to the frontier and returned safely.

I've had to install this from a couple of workstations, rather than the server, and in those cases I put the correct path in and it installed OK - but those were supported versions.

OK, here is what appears when installing payroll to an unsupported Sage version.
Think out loud, wondering what may happen if I put the correct path in the destination folder. Of course, it would be a backed up folder copy...

This could be the roadblock. This client (on 2022) also has 2021 installed. Alas, it is not an option to install to.

For anyone who has tried to install payroll 2.26 to a version earlier than Sage 100 2022 did you get a message that it would not install or did the PR 2.26 update install onto a version 2021 or lower system?
