11.4 MSI Not installing via Group Policy

we have been able install 11.2 , 11.3 gpo using msi file wiith few problems.  however, 11.4 msi isn't working using exact methods worked previous versions.

error says "not marked installation."

 

how can solved?

 

we push 11.4 out asap before more users respond update prompt 11.4 , install manually , inadvertantly install tool bars , browsers set install default when user installs it.  had planned deploy 11.3 , have silently update future updates automatically no user intervention, 11.4 has thrown wrench in plan.

 

also, 11.4 start updating 11.3 11.4 silently next week?  read these unwanted manual installation prompts users mms,cfg settings set automatically install supposed stop happening 7 days after release of 11.4.
