I need to delete 2 file from 400 workstation what the best way to do this

I have created an MSI to add to new files but cant seem to remove the old ones in the same directory

you can add custom action using VBScript to delete files.
first, check whether the files are there, if existing, delete them.
make sure where u need use this function.

Look at the help topic "RemoveFiles Action". You'll have to use the Direct Editor to author records in the RemoveFile table.

Check out the help topic "RemoveFile Table". The first (key) column is anything you'd like as long as it is unique within the keys for the records of that table (InstallShield will warn you if the key is a duplicate of another record). The removal of the file(s) listed in this table must be associated with the installation or uninstallation of a component--that's what the component field is for.
