The TypeLib/@HelpDirectory attribute's value is supposed to be the ID of the
directory, not a Formatted type. Use INSTALLDIR, not [INSTALLDIR].
The documentation isn't very helpful as it's generated directly from the XML
schema, which in the main doesn't differentiate between different logical
types of string. This is partly due to the difficulty of defining regular
expressions for the different types to limit the allowed characters, because
WiX also supports using compile-time and localization-time variables in
place of at least some identifiers (they must of course ultimately resolve
to identifiers). I'm not sure if it's possible to define a new type based on
String with no additional restrictions.
