If the MSI product code for that app is not the same between the GP-deployed package and the Tivoli one, then I believe it will try to uninstall/reinstall the app to bring it under GP management. At least, the last time I tried it that was the behavior I saw. If these are XP machines, you could use a WMI filter to exclude machines where the app is already installed (see Alain's earlier post on checking WMI for MSI installed apps).

quick question-if i already installed an msi based app via some other means(like Tivoli) and then i want to redploy this app via a computer node gpo in AD for any pc's which still didn't get it via the other means, will the pc's that already have it try to install it again?thanks
