Software Deployment

Hello fellow AppDeloy'ers -- I have an interesting one today...

So here's the scenario...

Our setup here is to deploy applications via AD Group Policy.

A need arose to have Adobe Acrobat 7.0.5 Professional be removed and readded (causing all clients to uninstall and reinstall)

This seemed to create a half install state (the program files are present under C:\Program Files), but when trying to open the program it generates an error saying the serial number is invalid -- this tells me that the transform was not applied correctly (as this same exact package/transform has worked in the past without issues)

So, I figured I would manually uninstall, so I could try and manually install to see if the problem gets resolved.

When trying to manually uninstall (msiexec /x "package.msi" TRANSFORMS="transform.mst") I am prompted with the following error;

Internal Error 2753: UninstManager.dll

And the following is written to the Application Log;

Event Type: Error

The same error occurs if I attempt to install over top (msiexec /i "package.msi" TRANSFORMS="transform.mst")

The file "uninstmanager.dll" is located in two places; "C:\WINDOWS\Temp" and "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Uninstall"

I've searched the net and the forums and can't seem to come up with anything concrete. Anyone have any ideas?
