One for you AD Guru's
I would like a piece of software (Microshite Office to be exact!) to install last because otherwise it doens't install correctly. You have to rerun the installed manually to fix the incorrect install otherwise.
Is this possible?

I'm not sure if you could make it work in your deployment, but a package in a higher GPO will install after ones in a lower level GPO.
If they're on the same level, they're supposed to install in the order that the packages were created, but that doesn't always work.

Going to cause you more issues than it's worth. Personally i'd go around each PC and install. If a massive institution i'd do one floor at a time, possibly even get some overtime out of it.
1. It's a massive program and takes an age to upgrade from 2003.
2. you're going to get users switching off PCs and screwing up the registry when installing no matter how many times you send around an e-mail explaining why it's taking ages to logon or shutdown.
3. all users logging on at the same time, your server is going to become massively under pressure and possibly freeze.
