Short path form in the registry
Hi,
I'm using "COM Extract at Build" setting for registering .dll files. After installation, I found that the values of paths in the registry have the short path form (C:\PROGRA~2\...). Unfortunately, my program requires the long path form. Studying the .msi file in Orca, I discovered that the Registry table contains the path values of the form [!filekey] instead of the form [#filekey] for the long path form. Can I control this format in InstallShield project?
Thanks in advance,
Yuri.
