How can I display only the long file name/path string? - Page 2

Hi,

I would like to display the "Start Menu Folder" in a "Ready To Install" dialog GUI for the software being installed but it requires both a short and long file path. e.g. "TESTNA~1|TESTNAME Long"

The problem is, I don't want to display the short name "TESTNA~1|" in the GUI. I only want "TESTNAME Long".

If I leave out the short name string definition, I see the errors

ISDEV : error -7354: The English (United States) value for string 'ID_STRING1' does not contain a legitimate value for table Directory column DefaultDir
ISDEV : error -7354: The English (United States) value for string 'ID_STRING1' does not contain a legitimate value for table Shortcut column Name

Is there anything I can do to get around this problem?

I am using InstallShield 2019 R3. When I used InstallShield 2015, I did not have to include the short file name as part of the file path definition.

Here is what my setup looks like:

Thanks,
George
