It appears that the Directory was not created and that was the issue. I added a line before I ran the /short line. After I did that the returned variable was not blank. This is an internally used install file, so I believe I can trust that the machines will have a standard configuration with C drive set to support 8.3 filename format, so I am going to just give it a very basic ${If} Short_Path == "" -> MessageBox structure (as I am not proficient enough with this installer to get that deep atm).
