I think that Barry's problem is that the Adobe applications don't have  
the ".app" suffix.

I think the finder checks this:

1.  It checks for a bundle bit.  I don't think Apple bothers with  
setting this for their stuff.

2.  It checks for .app, .bundle or .framework.

3.  It looks for a pattern in the bundle structure.

I don't know how to do #1; there might be some shell() or AppleScript()  
method.

I expect that #1 and #3 together will work most of the time.

I'm not sure how much of a pattern is needed.  Maybe this:  The next  
level has a single folder named Contents and it contains (among other  
things) file info.plist and folder Resources.
