I am trying this now, but it seems that [ProgramFilesFolder] is resolved to
an empty string :(
<Variable Name="InstallFolder" Type="string"
Value="[ProgramFilesFolder]\$(env.MANUFACTURER)" />
...
<MsiPackage Id="MyPackage" Compressed="no" EnableFeatureSelection="no"
Name="MyPackage.msi" Cache="no"
SourceFile="c:\path\to\MyPackage.msi">
<MsiProperty Name='TARGETDIR' Value='[InstallFolder]' />
</MsiPackage>
So is this a missing feature at the moment?

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance,
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this
