| 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?

| If you try to install an msi app silently
and it is already installed, it silently aborts “ no repair, no
reinstall, no uninstall.

| It should.. they would try and re-install
if you assigned the app to a computer. If you publish to a user or group of
users though, your users may be able to avoid the re-install by selecting the
app if they still needed it. Or ask you users to respond to an email if they don™t
have the app and either target their specific systems or them as a group of
users.

| 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.

| I can not confirm with GPO. But if using SMS, the app will not be reinstalled
IF the msi package is the same. Unless you specifically ask it to reinstall.
I imagine the behavior will be the same via GPO.
