Checking existence of a file in Inno Setup Internal Temporary folder

I want my Inno Setup Script to search for my setup's .TMP file which usually creates in currently logged user's Local Application Data folder and give user a message box saying "Your Setup's Temporary Source seems to be created successfully."

I wrote a code to do so:

 if CurPageID = wpLicence then begin
   if FileExists((ExpandConstant('{localappdata}\Temp\is-*****.tmp\MySetup.tmp'))) then begin
     MsgBox('Your Setup''s Temporary Source seems to be created successfully.', mbInformation, MB_OK);
     MsgBox('It is located in: <<I WANT TO GET THE FOUND FILE''S FULL PATH HERE>>', mbWarning, MB_OK);
   end;
 end;

But, even my setup's temporary file (MySetup.tmp) exists when the setup starts, I'm not getting those message boxes.

What is the problem in this code?

Is the is-***** ignored when searching?

UPDATED QUESTION

I mean The Temporary Directory shown in below image. It contains the internal Temporary File of the Setup Wizard. This is usually named like {#SetupName}.tmp......this Temporary Directory. Not the other Temporary Directory which Inno Setup extracts Files of the Setup. such as ISSKin.dll or any externally used files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The FileExists function does not support wildcards, not even in a file name, let alone in a name of a parent folder.

See How to test using wildcards whether a file exists in Inno Setup.

Though in your case, just use the ParamStr(0).

FileExists(ParamStr(0))
