Hi Greg P
Thank you for your post in our forums.
Applications like Java and Flash have different behavior where as you can install the new version though you have the old version on the same machine.
You can utilize the pre-deployment activities while adding the package. In pre-deployment functions you have option to remove the existing version of the application before attempting to install the new version. Else you can write a script to remove all the old versions of the specific application before installing the new version.
You can find the uninstall string for any application under the registry.
I have got this switch information from Adobe technical forums hence please search the respective applications vendor's forums and blogs for the silent install/uninstall string details.

Please use the switches /qn /silent along with the string.HKLM\Software\Wow6432node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall (64bit OS)
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall (32bit OS)
