Let's ask it now
He .. I got this question

I allready finished my installer a loooong time ago .. but I want some improvements in it.

I made a codecpack but several people are complaining that they cant run some video files annymore . that's becuase they have registrated the 2 of the same files. So that's why I want this in my installer:

- A search engine.. It must look for specific files and delete those files.

Is this possible without making a plugin ? thanks

Well it's not pretty....

Search for the specific files using the dos "dir" command via exec and direct the output to be used as input for the "delete" command.

I was trying to figure out a way to invoke and use the search utility in explorer.exe, and have it remove the files silently; however, I couldn't get this to work.

Hope you come up with something faster!

What about the FindFirst, FindNext and FindClose commands?

And what about search the Archive for scripts to solve your problem? There has some scripts about this subject.
