During my setup I have to rename numerous files.  

After all my file operations are complete I have a STRINGLIST of all the unrequired files that I want to remove.  Is it feasible to use this list to dynamically populate the RemoveFile table at runtime.

I know it may be ambitious, and will probably end up on the "nice-to-have" list, but any info would be appreciated.

Obviously, I know I can manually edit the table but prior to install I dont know the files that need to be removed and the FileName column doesnt seem to like [PROPERTIES].

You can add temprorary table rows at runtime with some SQL commands in a custom action. But if you're renaming the files in a InstallScript custom action and build a string list, why don't you delete them from there, too?
