If you do this with code, C++, the GetShortPathName API works on directories. You'd do this after the directory has in fact been created.

I saw an old mailing list thread about this topic that Rob responded to with: >You could always just use "[!FileId]" to get the short name of a file. This thread was in the context of WiX 3.0, however. When I try to do this with WiX 2.0, my environment variable ends up unset. Is this a WiX 3 specific feature? --Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
