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.
