Hi,
We had this problem recently as well.
Have a look at registry setting:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation
We've got it set to 0 on our build server that was giving us grief before.

Subject: [WiX-users] Tallow generates invalid names
Hi, I am experimenting a very weird tallow behavior. Basically I'm executing
the tallow.exe from a command line and it's generating invalid names (with more
than 8+3 characters) instead of name/longnames. I'm also using tallow in a
build process so it produces candle crashes due to invalid names. This strange
behavior only happens in one machine (tallow had worked fine until now and we
can't reproduce this behavior in our dev boxes).
For example: Tallow generates the following:
<Directory Id="directory4" Name="Solutions">
<Component Id="component3" DiskId="1" Guid="PUT-GUID-HERE">
<File Id="file6" Name="SampleSolution.ico"
src="c:\MySolution\SampleSolution.ico" />
</Component>
</Directory>
It should has produced Name="Sample~1.ico" LongName="SampleSolution.ico". Any
ideas? Has someone experimented something similar?
Thanks,
-Adrian
