Directory Identifier
You can use the Directory Identifier field to provide a user-friendly name for a directory. For example, if
you have a directory—ProgramFilesFolder\MyProgram\Graphics\Jpg—you can use just JPG to identify
the directory path. The InstallShield interface displays the path as follows:
{JPG} [ProgramFilesFolder]MyProgram\Graphics\Jpg
Note: The directory identifier must be a valid MSI identifier.
