HowTo CS6 Unattented Uninstall

I'm Trying to find a way to uninstall this software unattented showing progress bar only or silently without prompting users; this will be ran through SCCM 2012 application model. The uninstall string for add/remove program uses PDAPP.EXE (Application manager)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe --appletID="DWA_UI" --appletVersion="2.0" --mode="Uninstall" --mediaSignature="{0327A4BF-62BF-48BB-8928-B971B749E9E1}"

But this will prompt the user to choose which component to remove, I want to be able to automate it...

Much appreciated.

    Since nobody responded I found my own response, when you create a package using the AAME 3.1, the installation packaged is an MSI file, this MSI has is own entry in the registry Uninstall key with the name you gave your deployment. So it has it's own Unique GUID, use that MSI GUID and launch the uninstall like that :

    MSIEXEC /X {PACKAGEGUID} /Quiet /L*v C:\TEMP\REMOVE.LOG(THIS IS mot mandatory, but will help troubleshoot if you ever have problem.)

    Note: Remember each individual package created using the AAME 3.1 will have his own MSI GUI, they do not show in the Programs and Feature list because they are marked as systemComponent!

    Thanks
