So try this: An immediate CA after CostFinalize uses [!fileId] to get 
the short path, chops off the filename, and sets another property to 
just the directory, which you then use in an Environment element. Worth 
a shot.

Otherwise, I don't see how to accomplish what you're trying to do. Other 
than to suggest fixing broken software that requires a short path.<g>
