System Search
I need to search Window's "LocalApplicationData" for any *.db files (and cancel the install with a message if any are found). The Sytem Search doesn't let me look for any wildcarded files. How can I do this?

if you are using an installscript msi or installscript project you could use the "FindFile" function, have a look here:

this function also accepts wildcard characters. if the system search doesn't work for you i don't know how you could achieve this with a basic msi project.
