I uninstall the old package at every upgrade. Most installs are pretty quick and it avoids the kind of issues you're describing.

Casale [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 2:13 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: GPO Deployed MSI Packages What is you guys practice in the situation where you deploy an MSI, then deploy an upgrade to it, and now receive an upgrade to that? The gpo starts to get ugly as these add up, and the file server with these apps starts to accumulate data I could otherwise archive/remove. What's the least obtrusive way to deal with this, I presume remove all the packages in question one by one forcing an uninstallation, then redeploy the new one but how do you ensure the order is met and it works correctly?
