Windows Installer uses a property to identify the destination. Every
entry in the Directory table gets a property to go with it. So by
defining an entry in the Directory table you also get a property. You
could just use a property separate from the Directory table as well.
But either way you can't specy DestinationProperty or
DestinationDirectory as formatted text that will resolve to the
desired path.
