If it was me, I'd be doing this in VB Script, called as a Custom Action. There are many, many examples on the Web which will do recursive searching through folders.

Add a row to the AppSearch, Signature, and DrLocator tables. In DrLocator, leave the Parent column blank. This will search all local drives. Note that this can take extremely long. Note that the search will stop when it finds the first occurance of the file. If you need to find multiple copies, you need to use a custom action.
