Error in Japanese string post migration from IS 2010 to IS 2016.
Hello,
We recently migrated one of our InstallShield projects from IS 2010 to IS 2016 SP1. We started to encounter errors with our Japanese strings post-migration. Following is the error message:

Looks like the short file name for these strings are missing, you can add the short file name for these string through direct editor, by going through the corresponding table and column.
update all these strings with the short file name string in the below format:
projec~1|Project Status report // for strings more than 8 characters
projec~1.txt|Project Status.txt // for file names more than 8 characters
So, in your case

>> Got to Directory table and column DefaultDir in Direct edit view, and update the string RI_STRING_xxxx_Folder with short file name as described above.

you can find more information from the below KB articles:
error -7354: The Japanese: 日本語 value for string 'RI_STRING_XXXX_XXXXXX_Text_Run' does not contain a legitimate value for table Control column Text Language Japanese: 日本語 built.
The InstallShiled build step exits with code 1. Any suggestion?
I have came across this issue once for a different locale.
What you can do is add \[] in places where you are using open [, and add [\] places where you are using close ]. This is only in case when you are using any characters in between open [ and close ].
