Software Deployment

Noticed something strange while testing. If I install Adobe Flash Player 10.0.32.18 (Windows XP environment, Office 2003 SP3), which is the current version, everything's fine. If for any reason I uninstall it, and then attempt to reinstall it, I get a dialog that says "The version of Adobe Flash Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most current version".

I get this error if I attempt the reinstall from my wrapper exe, which is just some Wise code that installs a few different apps, and also get the error if I attempt the reinstall direct from the Adobe MSI.

I haven't found anything obvious in the registry or the Adobe MSI, and the only other clue I have is in an install.log file that gets written to C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash during the install. Here's the contents of that file:

MessageBox: 12582960,"The version of Adobe® Flash® Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most current version.
Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the latest, most secure version."


The other strange thing is that after I click OK in the dialog, the install completes successfully, and when I recheck the install.log file, the chunk of text referencing the message box about the version not being current is gone.

Any ideas what I can try to fix this?
