If the MSI product code for that app is not the same
between the GP-deployed package and the Tivoli one, then I believe it will try
to uninstall/reinstall the app to bring it under GP management. At least, the
last time I tried it that was the behavior I saw. If these are XP machines, you
could use a WMI filter to exclude machines where the app is already installed
(see Alain's earlier post on checking WMI for MSI installed
apps).

quick question-
if i already installed an msi based app via some other means(like
Tivoli) and then i want to redploy this app via a computer node gpo in AD
for any pc's which still didn't get it via the other means, will the pc's that
already have it try to install it again?
thanks
