I have a web application for which I implement an Installshield/InstallScript installer (i.e. no MSI).

The web application uses webpack, and I end up with a relatively short list of files which have some kind of hash in their names, like 30.1892376def7834bc2352.js.

These file names change with every build. So when I run an update with the setup I end up with more and more files in the directory every time.

Is there a better way to handle the situation than hooking into some OnInstalling event and deleting the files?

Since I have not been able to find a better way I set up the installer to delete the files in the OnUpdateUIBefore callback.

The initially proposed OnInstalling event is not suitable because temp files for feature to be installed are have already been copied and would be deleted, too.
