Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

Hi,
You need to find the uninstall string for the update and distribute it as a package/program.. Here is a KB article which describes the uninstall string http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184305
