Adobe Reader keep uninstalling when deployed via Group Policy

I’ve configured a Group Policy Object to install Adobe Reader X, but one machine keeps uninstalling the package on start-up – even if it is installed manually.

This one machine also doesn’t show Reader as an installable app in Add/Remove programs.

Answer

Remove the computer from the GPO. Manually uninstall (remove registry entries and related files BACKUP FIRST) Adobe Reader X on the target machine after a gpupdate /force and a reboot. Apply GPO to computer, gpupdate /force and reboot. This has worked for me with a different MSI that I was having a similar problem.
