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

It doesnt have uninstall switches as you have stated above. It only have switches for installation. Does it mean that it cant be uninstalled because of this? What should I do next?

I tried it but it still didnt work out. The update I'm trying to uninstall is KB2553248 and its filename is outlookloc2010-kb2553248-fullfile-x86-glb.exe. Any more suggestions? 

Im cleaning up old posts, did you figure this out yet? IF so what was the solution?

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.
