Uninstall Adobe Products through Self Service

I am attempting to create uninstallers for everything that I created installers for. I have gotten to the point where I need to create uninstallers for the Adobe CS5 applications and I am not sure if there is anything special that I need to do. We, of course, created the installers through Casper Admin, but do I need to do anything other than index and check the option to allow policy to uninstall? Is there a script that I need to add in anywhere or anything? Any suggestions would be helpful.

There are/were scripts in the Resource Kit for removing CS3 and CS4 applications which work well when I've had opportunities to use them, but they have not been updated for CS5. They are pretty monster scripts so updating them for the new apps would take some work; probably not worth the effort.
I'm not sure what the best way would be other than indexing and setting it to uninstall instead of install when running it via policy or Casper Remote.

CS 5 installers made through AAMEE can also create uninstaller packages. At our academy we simply cache the uninstaller on any system we want to have the ability to uninstall it from. Then we can light it off at any point we like without too much network overhead. I realize that this isn't how you made your installers, but it's not too much of a process.
