I am trying to define the short name of a file, but the installer
ignores my entry and creates its own automatic short name.  For
instance, I'm using the following in the file table:
gehnum01.pdf|GEH-6421_Vol_I.pdf but when installed, the short name turns
out to be GEH-64~1.pdf

 

My code looks like:

 

            <Component Id="GEH_6421_Vol_I.pdf"
Guid="{A12AF620-A279-4445-A461-6CF5867A7B9E}" >

              <File Id="GEH_6421_Vol_I.pdf" Name="GEH-6421_Vol_I.pdf"
ShortName=" gehnum01.pdf" Source=".\RuntimeFiles\Doc\GEH-6421_Vol_I.pdf"
KeyPath='yes' Checksum="no" >

                <Shortcut Id="startmenuMarkVIDocsSysManVol1"
Directory='ProgramMenuMarkVIDocuments' Name='System Manual Vol 1'
WorkingDirectory='Doc' />

              </File>

            </Component>

 

Once built, the .msm in Orca looks ok in the file table.

 

What do I need to do to get the short name to be what I want it to.

 

Thanks,

Dave
