Remove registry key based on substring value

hi!

i try upgrade flash player plugin using sccm error in installer exist. fistr must remove registry subkeys thath contain substring "adobe flash player 10 plugin" in [hkey_classes_root\installer] . substring must more one.

i try create scritp using function mentioned in blog post https://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2012/05/11/use-powershell-to-enumerate-registry-property-values.aspx?redirected=true conduction psdrive

i try create script

1. create new psdrive hkey_classes_root ->  new-psdrive -name hkcr -psprovider registry -root hkey_classes_root

2. get-childitem recurse -> get-childitem -path hkcr:\installer -recurse

3. substring subkeys ->   foreach-object { get-itemproperty $_.pspath } | get-registrykeypropertiesandvalues

but path must give function?

4. filter substring -> how ?

5. remove key if substring equal -> how?

anybody can me?

regards
