Fine.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why another subdirectory? Or should this have been a macro, signifying a
directory name relating to the pertinent version? Otherwise (single version
install only) I'd suggest to forego another directory level and just place
an appropriatly named file (version.info, version, release, either lower,
mixed or upper case, are commonly used) into the installation directory.

With a multiple version installation, you'll run into trouble that way -
the link can only relate to one single version, how will you handle a
clash? And above it, how will you handle the configuration then? Every
version has to find its corresponding files - sources, object files, ppus.
You will have to maintain multiple configurations for the user as well.
Otherwise, you will just create dead disk space.

BTW, last time I completely missed the /opt hierarchy - this is usually
used for "third-party add-ons", as they're called. I'm not sure whether
mseide-msegui qualifies in that category, but as there are so diverse things
there as VirtualBox, Java, OpenOffice or the Microchip MPLabX-IDE, you might
consider that, too. (Borland used it for its kylix also;)
