Short path notation?

This might be a silly question, but is there a way to convert a long directory path to the short DOS notation without custom code?

ie:
if $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ = C:\Program Files\...
I need $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ =C:\Progra~1\...

Offhand, I'm not aware of anything built in; the Win32Service interface has a getShortPath method that should do it, but that's custom coding, of course...
