The section_name_1 would be the path to the folder containing the files. I'm assuming that would be the path to the files AFTER they've been copied to the workstation - [\path\to\i386\] > In this section, we will find > short-name-1 =" ADMPARSE.DLL.MU_" (or admparse.dll.mui ????) > ..................................................................... > short_name_32 = " WININET.DLL.MU_" > > But, who chooses short-name ?

Windows generates the short filename, theoreticaly according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142982. In practice I found that my files weren't renamed according to that. When the install stopped when it couldn't find the file, I browsed to the folder where the file had been copied to and got the shortfilename from there. > Finally, should I rename ADMPARSE.DLL.MU_ with his short-name ? I don't think you have to rename the file in your original source. However, you might be able to rename the file in your source and use the $$Rename.txt file to convert that back to the proper long name.
