Russ-
There are two MSI properties that you can set to control Reinstall. Namely Reinstall and ReinstallMode. If you have a package editor, like Wise or Orca, you can set these properties in the package or you can create a transform to set these properties--using a transform would require re-deploying the package though. Most packaging tools let you specify to do a check for a previous version and de-install it first if found. That's another option as well.

Subject: [ActiveDir] GPO I think I figured it out

I actually have two issues
 
1) I have a blue circle on my DFS Share, the Microsoft documentation says nothing about a blue circle.  If I right click and click "Check status" it gets a green checkmark underneath the blue circle.  Very odd.  However, I deleted the dfs share, created a new one, and now that appears to be working.
 
2) Some users manually installed the software.  When the GPO kicks off, it tries to install it (because the GPO isn't smart enough to know the user installed it) and of course it's then asking the GPO applier if it wants to remove, repair, or reinstall, thus making the Computer software policy fail.  How can I tell the GPO to forcefully reinstall so it doesn't get that pop-up?
