There's probably a couple of things to check here. First, run GPResults
against the computer and see whether the package is being received. 2nd, did
you install the previous version (8.0.1) using GP? If so, you might want to
try creating an upgrade relationship between 8.0.1 and 9. 3rd, does the MSI
you are using for 9 actually upgrade 8.0.1? In other words, does it know how
to do that when you run it manually? 4th, does the MSI have the ability to
run with Basic UI (i.e. make sure it does not require user prompts to work).
