You need to update first. Your LR version is still the old one.

Why would you expect the installation process to replace an existing Desktop icon?
That's your job.
More to the point, why do you have both versions (CC and 6) installed? I just have the CC version, and no such problems - I click the icon, I get CC and the Dehaze slider.
Seems the "cluster fluck" (cute... 
) is with how you've got your machine set up.
I just purchased the Lightroom 6.1 desktop version and was informed only the CC offers those functions and I won't find the dehaze and other updated functions there. I also just dropped the CEO a note and will most likely cancel my subscription just out of pure frustration. I'll find another program or just take better pictures. 
Did you see this as you purchased the LR 6 update?
LR 7 (if there is such a version) will have Dehaze, so sooner than never.
If you scroll up in this thread, you'll see information about a plug-in and presets that lets you have Dehaze in LR 6. It's possible that Adobe will disable the plug-in functionality in LR 6 but I'd guess the presets would always work.
This is what I saw.. Obviously I did not see the screen you saw. Since I have used the product since 3, I am use to the one time purchase and getting the updates and bug fixes. Actually when I read the DeHaze I thought it was a feature I missed when getting the numerous upgrade emails. When I first researched the upgrade I don't remember their being a distinction but have to say I did not research it deeply. Photography is a hobby for me and I don't want to subscribe... I understand companies are having hard times monetizing software expenses and need to be more creative, but this type of marketing reeks. I am a software development manager with 30+ years of experience. I have seen this done by a number of companies and continue to experience it. Bottom line.. I stopped recommending these companies.. I am a customer.. It is not un-reasonable to upgrade your version and expect to get some updates or new feature for some length of time especially given I did not see any of that info you saw. I upgraded at $79.99 only to find a feature touted on their website was not there. Was not clear there I am know a second class customer. If so, would not have upgraded. Would have decided either to continue on 5, be a sub, or move to an alternative.
This is not surprising... Just very disappointing and bottom line is... There is a percentage of customers they will lose and a bit of their reputation with decision like this they make... Flex was their first and yes I was a supporter and went to AdobeMax twice.. This is their second.. If there is a viable option for photo editing and DAM.. Well I am going to start looking because my use case cannot justify 10 bucks a month. Just don't use it that much. I don't expect ever new feature to be available to me like the cloud guys. I totally expect them to get theirs first, but purchasing frozen versions (Bug fixes only) is not very cool and I will have to factor that in. AND THEY REALLY NEED TO CONTINUEOUSLY COMMUNICATE WHAT YOU DON"T GET IN LR standalone on all marketing material. What I saw did not have that distinction. We will all see how this plays out in the long run, but personally I don't like the trend and hope it ends up hurting more than helping. Nickel and diming has a history of leading to failure.. We will see.
Thanks for the link.. Glad to see they do it in some places... However, the flow i went through to purchase they did not (I won't even get into the hoops I jumped through to get my upgrade to work).
