Basically you can use registry search for this, in the example below I am 
searching for a directory in the registry to exist.
To Delete just Action="remove".

I don't know if registry search provides wildcard.

        <Property Id="INSTALLDIR" Value='C:\Nothing'>
       <RegistrySearch Id='ToSearch' Type='raw' Root='HKLM' 
Key='Software\[RegCompanyPart]\MyPoductDir ' Name='MyDirToSearch' />
        </Property>

        <Registry Id="ToSearch" Action="remove" />

This should work for, but I don't know how to use wildcards or something in 
registry search.

Betreff: [WiX-users] Removing registry keys via loop/enumeration...

Hi there,



I have an installer that needs to remove registry keys before installing
another registry key.



Basically, I need to enumerate all subkeys of a specific key, find out if a
specific word is in the key name and if so remove the registry key.



Could anyone help me find out what is the best way to accomplish this with
WiX? I am using the stable version.



I was thinking about a C++ DLL to accomplish this task but wanted to find
out first if there is already something in WiX to help me doing this.



Thanks!
