Re: [WiX-users] Long CAB file name

I will err on the safe side and use short names :) I have a scenario where it makes sense to base the CAB file names on ComponentGroup IDs. Now I use an algorithm to generate these names from the long ComponentGroup IDs which is similar to the one WiX uses to generate short file names... Bob Arn

Re: [WiX-users] Long CAB file name

We add those types of warnings when we get a report of a problem. Don't always remember the problem. However, ignore the warning at your own risk. In this case, why not shorten the cabinet name? That seems like it should be easy. zett42 wrote: > I get a warning from Candle about my CAB file n
