Hi,

Thanks for the clarification, I thought the shortname was always used. So in
real life it's probably "WINDOW~1.5" on most machines ( try DIR /X ) But you
can't be sure... Short file name generation might even be disabled.

Hello Brian,
The CancelDlgText is used on the CancelDlg. When removing the product using
the Maintenance Mode it will show the CancelDlg as you described. This is
probably also the reason why the ActionText on the progress dialog for most
