Group Policy keeps removing application

[gmail2]

I was recently playing around with assigning and publishing adobe reader 8 to my account. I done this on a policy which only my user account had permissions to. I've removed the application from group policy now (the actual installation files still exist in the same place though) and I've even deleted the .aas file - but every time I log in, it keeps saying "uninstallation adobe reader 8" and dissappears after about 2 seconds. If I run RSOP, under User Configuration > Error Information, it says:

Product: Adobe Reader 8 -- Internal Error 2753. Updater.api_NON_OPT

The removal of application Adobe Reader 8 from policy adobe failed.  The error was : Fatal error during installation.

Failed to apply changes to software installation settings.  Software changes could not be applied.  A previous log entry with details should exist.  The error was : Fatal error during installation

Anybody got any idea why it keeps doing this? The Adobe folder is gone from Program Files and I've deleted everything from the registry too. Sounds like it didn't completely remove the application, but how is it even doing this when I've deleted the aas file

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi all,

Just to let you know that i figured out what was going on here. I went into HKCU\Software\Microsoft (can't remember the full path) and removed the entry for adobe reader from the assigned applications. Once I done this, it was fine. I presume for some reason the .aas script didn't remove this, so that's why it kept trying to remove it.
