That and if you try to use the "install an MSI over HTTP" (which is such a pain to deal with it isn't worth it) the Windows Installer will use short names as well. Oh, and the user can technically speaking always pass in the SHORTFILENAMES Property and force your MSI to use short filenames. I don't quite follow the question though. MSI requires short filenames. WiX v3 will auto-generate them in a stable and highly-unlikely to collide sort of way. Why does it matter?
