My advice for GPO is to have a different installation for each Service Pack
and to do a complete uninstall/install.
Adding a service pack to current deployment have propably broken the policy.
If you add the service pack to the original deployment, uninstall with GPO
propably won't work.

Hi,
I've been using group policy to distribute my Autodesk applications and it
has worked in the past but now it doesn't seem to work anymore.
I am trying to assign AutoCAD 2008 to computers. When they boot up it
flashes "Installing managed software AutoCAD 2008" then goes to the logon
scree. The application log says:
"The install of application AutoCAD 2008 - English from policy AutoCAD 2008
failed. The error was: The installation source for this product is not
available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."
I have checked permissions, even explicitly giving that computer read access
to the directory but it does not help. If I manually install the
application while the GPO setting is applied the next reboot will uninstall
AutoCAD.
I am at wits end with this one. Could adding new service packs to the
installation source have broken the installation?
Thanks.
