re-install a package installed by group policy

Seems I cannot reinstall a program using group policy when the program has been originally rolled out by group policy, even when it has been uninstalled on the machine by an admin user

see here

seems I must delete registry key to allow for the package to be reinstalled via group policy

Simply delete corresponding key from:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\AppMgmt

NOTE: Don't delete the actual AppMgmt key, explode the key to see the GUIDs, if you click on one it will then give you the details so you can ascertain which GUID relates to which software. Then delete the whole key relevant.
