I was assuming an identical msi in both
cases and installing with /i, it should silently abort. If the msi has changed
(i.e. been repackaged/rebuilt) there are other possibilities. If the package
code is the same and you run it interactively, you should get the uninstall
reinstall repair dialog. If you want to uninstall silently you have to specify
/x.

deployment via GPO
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).
