Yes.  That's what it means.

Unless you want short names.  <smile/>

Thanks Rob, I not sure I am any wiser even after reading the MSI SDK! I
am assuming it just means that the MSI uses long file names and can be
safely ignored as the default is "Long file names".

>From MSI SDK:

Word Count Summary Property
In the summary information of an installation package, the Word Count
Summary property indicates the type of source file image. If this
property is not present, it defaults to zero (0). Note that this
property is stored in place of the standard Count Property.

This property is a bit field. New bits may be added in the future. At
present the following bits are available.

Bit   Value  Description
Bit 0 0      Long file names.
      1      Short file names.

Could someone let me know what the Package/@Shortnames attribute does or
how it maps to an MSI property. The documentation says "Set to 'yes' to
have short filenames in the source" but that doesn't really mean
anything to me.



Thanks



Neil
