Adobe Reader install trying to load wrong MST file

I’ll get right to the point. I’ll appreciate any input that can be provided.

My MST file is called “DoS_AcroRead.mst”, but the log thinks I want “AdbeRdr11009.mst”

I have the problem on my Win8.1 system, but not Win7. “AdbeRdr11009.mst” is the name of the MST file used in another deployment (GPSI) that was once used on this workstation, but I have since disabled it (rebooted, checked the GPO, etc). I was thinking there might be an environmental variable set somewhere that is being picked up, but I cannot figure out how. I’ve picked apart the PADT trying to figure out how the script is getting confused. I am hoping someone can explain what the heck is going on. I have tried running it with the EXE the PS1, with a new PS session.

Please help!!!

The installation portion of Deploy-Application.ps1 looks like this:

##===============================================
##
INSTALLATION
##*===============================================
[string]$installPhase = ‘Installation’

Install the base MSI and apply a transform

Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path ‘AcroRead.msi’ -Transform ‘DoS_AcroRead.mst’

Install the patch

Execute-MSI -Action Patch -Path ‘AdbeRdrUpd11010.msp’

For some reason I get this error in the log:
