GPO to Uninstall Adobe Reader running AFTER GPO to install Adobe Reader

$

I have 2 GPOs setup.  One uses a batch file with WMIC commands to find all instances of Adobe Reader and uninstall them.  It then drops a file in the C:\Temp folder.  If a user reboots their computer, the batch file looks for the file, and if it's present, the batch doesn't run.  The Startup Script is located in COMPUTER CONFIG\POLICIES\WINDOWS SETTINGS\SCRIPTS\STARTUP

The second GPO is a simple software deployment of Adobe Reader 11.0.02 from an Admin Install Point viewable by all domain computers.

I have a machine in a test OU in my domain.  I have linked the Uninstall GPO as Link Order 10.  I have Adobe Reader Install linked as number 1.  There is no file in the C:\Temp so the uninstall should run.

A user boots up their machine.  The machine installs Adobe Reader 11.0.02 first, then the uninstall runs and uninstalls all Adobe.  On the next boot, the machine doesn't uninstall Adobe, and Adobe re-installs.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks!

Jim
