1. It's not random: it's a stable hash, generated from the path information so it doesn't change. 2. MSI uses the provided short names for directories and files only if the system doesn't support long file names. Otherwise, the file system generates the short name. So for Sean, the answer is: "impossible to say, because it varies on every system." That's why MSI provides the [#fileid], [!fileid] and [$componentid] Formatted string substitutions. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
