Re: [WiX-users] Com LocalServer32 in 8.3 format
I upgraded to the latest binary build on SourceForge (3.0.2211.0). A bit painful as tallow has been deprecated and Heat is very much different, but have it working again in my headless build. Unfortunately the registry entries are still in [!MyServerExe] format not [#MyServerExe]. Maybe the next build then.

[WiX-users] Com LocalServer32 in 8.3 format
Hi, I am authoring wix version 3 com servers in the 'correct' way as below, but the LocalServer32 @ registry entry is generated in 8.3 format names. This seems to be because of the [!MyServer.exe] generated in the msi. If I use orca to change that to [#MyServer.exe] then I get the long filename as I require. I would much prefer to maintain the code below rather than a load of registry entries which are prone to mistakes, is there any method of forcing the [#MyServer.exe] to be generated. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
