I'm trying to set an environment variable to be the value of INSTALLDIR,
but I need it to be the 8.3 style path.


I saw an old mailing list thread about this topic that Rob responded to
with:

 
        >You could always just use "[!FileId]" to get the short name of
a file.

 

This thread was in the context of WiX 3.0, however.  When I try to do
this with WiX 2.0, my environment variable ends up unset.

 

Is this a WiX 3 specific feature?
