Good assessment.
When you have the machines cleaned up, Adobe supplies a deployment
preparation tool for this exact purpose. You will have to do a bit of
Googling for it.
NEVER edit or repackage an existing MSI (not possible in every case).
Always create a transform which can be applied against the original MSI.
Buy a proper suite such as Wise Application Studio for enterprise software
deployment.

So, I suspect what is happening here, based on that error, is the
popup you're seeing is Windows Installer trying to repair the
application but not finding the right files to do it. The Feature name,
WIFEAT00000001, tells me the package was created using WinInstall--
not very interesting. I suspect that the registry still contains
references to the package. I would search the registry by the
Product GUID, below, and get rid of all instances of it.
Alternatively, you could try downloading and running the Installer
Cleanup tool, found at
