No. Wildcards cannot be used in WPKG file checks.
However in general this looks like a bad idea to me to check on file-level if 
the folder name is randomly chosen. Either it's not as random as you might think 
and it's some kind of global unique ID or you might better use official 
interfaces. Perhaps unopkg.exe allows you to query for an extension. So you can 
simply use execute-style checks running unopkg.

In such cases I usually deploy some check-script like "check-install.cmd". This 
script might call unopkg or also traverse the filesystem and just terminate with 
zero or non-zero status depending on the results of evaluation. This way you can 
do all sorts of special checks involving WMI, external tools, scripts etc.
