    There is very little common in 'quote regular expression magic characters' (from description of quotemeta) and proper usage of system.

    quotemeta should work if InstallShield weren't so stupid. It seems that InstallShield can't parse paths with forward slashes in them. The major problem here is that I've got qouted strings inside qouted strings.
