Put the long name in the Name attribute & drop the use of the LongName attribute as it's been deprecated since WiX 3.0 was created. WiX will generate a short name at compile time if you put a long name in the Name attribute or you can use the ShortName attribute to specify it if you feel the need. See http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_file.htm

Subject: [WiX-users] Reg: Warning CNDL1044 Hi, I am using wix to create MSI packages. In the File Tag, I Use the attribute Name="ABCD~2.TXT". Compile shows the below warning <FilePath> (8165) : warning CNDL1044 : The File/@Name attribute's value 'ABCD~2.TXT' is an ambiguous short name because it ends with a '~' character followed by a number.Under some circumstances, this name could resolve to more than one file or directory name and lead to unpredictable results (for example 'MICROS~1' may correspond to 'Microsoft Shared' or 'Microsoft Foo' or literally 'Micros~1') I understand that this warning is no harm since I have added the longName attribute in the file tag with proper name. But I have too many files in the project, so its generates 1 warning for each file. Is there any way to suppress this warning or solve this warning Thank you Warm Regards, Karthic.GS http://www.mindtree.com/email/disclaimer.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
