active directory gpo deployed msi reinstalling on boot
I have a nice clean MSI + transform for Adobe Reader 7.0.8. I deploy via Active Directory GPO, and it works wonderfully for about 10000 machines. Nice clean install on power up. No further issues.
But 900 machines have been *manually* upgraded to 7.0.9 or 8.x of Adobe reader.... on those machines, every time they reboot, the 7.0.8 MSI reattempts an installation and fails.
What are my options? I know it works if I have them manually deinstall Adobe Reader... but that's painful for so many computers.
Thoughts?

Not qutie - the 7.0.9 and 8.x installs *per my original note* were manual installs, not via GPO. So there is nothing to upgrade.

Would it be feasible to upgrade all PCs to 8.x?

not feasible to upgrade to v8 because v8 breaks the application I'm installing 7.0.8 for.
a vb removal might work though - anyone know the vb code I could use to find and destroy Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and 8.x?
