MSI file deployment

[dupas]

I have a question... I want to be able to install a couple of programs to a certain group of people when they log onto their PCs. I would like to install AutoCAD 2007, Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat Reader. At the same time I would like to uninstall the older versions of each program. Can this be done with Group Policy?

If Im thinking correctly, I dont think I can uninstall the older versions of the programs through group policy due to it not being installed that way in the first place correct? I manually installed the programs onto everyones PCs.

If I installed the programs through group policy in the first place then I could install the old and reinstall the new correct?

How could I go about doing this?

Thanks!

Take a look here for instructions on how to package all of those apps, as for removing them i don't think you will be able to do this with GP.
