I don't believe the <Property> element supports formatted strings, if you are using WiX v4 try using the <SetProperty> element. Otherwise you will need to do it with a custom action.

For some reason, the MSI gets built without error, but the installer barfs, with logs showing that the [WindowsFolder] string was never resolved into the folder. Am I doing something wrong with the syntax?
