So try this: An immediate CA after CostFinalize uses [!fileId] to get
the short path, chops off the filename, and sets another property to
just the directory, which you then use in an Environment element. Worth
a shot.

But for [!FileId] - it is feature of MSI but it is related only to
files. It means that you cannot use it to create the 8.3 format of
directory.
I would use the Custom action which will
