I spoke too soon as I cant get this work... here is the syntax I am
using:
1. For the install directory, I am using this: <Directory
Id="PublicFolder" Name="PubPic" LongName="PublicPicturesDir" >
2. For the custom action I am using this: <CustomAction
Id="GetPublicPicturesFolder" Property="PublicPicturesDir"
Value="[%public%]\Pictures" />
3. For the install sequence I am using this: <Custom
Action="GetPublicPicturesFolder" After="CostFinalize" />
What I see, is the "property" is set to \pictures at install time.. the
[%public%] is lost completely. Also orca doesn't show the dir in the
propertys section at all.
Do I need to further define the property some how?

Sorry could you point me in the right direction.. never used type 51 ?
You need to define the custom action:
<CustomAction Id="Foo" Property="MYDIRECTORY" Value="[%variable]\Bar" />
then schedule it:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Id="Foo" After="CostFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
