Want to use long file name for cabinet file
We made a release containing two features, one cab file per feature.
One of the features has a long file name (ScriptingService).
InstallShield generates a file called 'Script~1.cab' although we set the release to use 'Long File Names'.
We would like the cab file name to be ScriptingService.cab. What do we need to do to achieve this?

Shortname are created when the name of the field or service or shortcut names contains more then 8characters, it is set by windows registry, Please refer the below KB link
You can change this key value to 0, however you might face other build time error for long file name path, like the one shown in above kb link.
