Managing Software PDFCreator

I'm pretty new to Altiris (9 months). Looking for help to get to 'Set it and forget it'.

 

As you can see from below. We have many versions of PDFCreator installed.

This list is from Software, Software Catalog, Installed Software.

Deliverable Software

1.4.0     64660649-c825-4380-9629-52a63f7f5fa7     PDFCreator 1.4.0   Frank Heindörfer, Philip Chinery

1.4.1     8dde77d2-0537-4bb5-b6eb-459132567316                        pdfforge

 

These two have packages.

How do I attach the packages above with the Installed Software above

 

I can install PDF Creator from my Job and Tasks using a PDF Creator install task.

There are 3 Tasks:

PDF Creator 1.2.3  This installs 1.4.0

PDF Creator 1.4.0  This installs 1.4.0

PDF Creaort 1.4.1  This installs 1.4.1

 

At some point I made 1.4.0 Supercede 1.2.3 and it magically updated the PDF Creator 1.2.3 task.

 

Here's what I'm looking for.

 

I want to manage PDFCreator. I want to know how may versions are installed where. I want to create a policy to install the latest version  of PDFCreator I have managed on PCs with no PDFCreator and update all the older release to the the managed release.

 

How would you create the managed software list for PDFCreator? (one for each version)

How do you setup the policy to push PDFCreator to PCs? How do you detect if PDFCreator is already installed?
