right click the msi tell it to uninstall then readd (i think you can right click and tell to redeploy aswell)

THIS! (the redeploy action is great if you are wanting to simply redeploy the original).

 

The other options you have is that Adobe do Network Kits which allow you to customise the install etc (well they do for Adobe Reader, I think they do for Flash too) and that will enable you to tell the machines to remove any previous version as well.

 

If you are updating then you'd need to Remove Application then re add (like sted said) .. but I thought I'd just confirm it ..

when you make the policy you can click 'uninstall when out of scope' or something of the sort, so itll uninstall if it cant find the original file (usefull if you packaged the MSI wrong to start with)

i have found the redeploy but i can find anything that says uninstall

 

where or what bit do i right click on to show the uninstall option

 

i thought i need to run the gpo again but with a script to uninstall

 

tar

If that doesn't work, you can always script into gpo an uninstall (not the best way to do it!)

 

msiexec /qn /x "location of msi"
