Short file names are not created in wsi.
Created: 01 Feb 2013 | 6 comments
Hi,
when I run setup capture I don't get any short file names in the wsi.
Is there a setting somewhere where you can turn this on or off?
I need the short file names.
Thanks

What version of what Wise tool are you using?
Where are the shortfilenames missing?

Use this property in WSI.

Set it in the property table and make sure that the directory table has valid shortfilename entries as well as the longfilenames.

Thanks for all the replies.
We are using Wise Package Studio 7 sp3.
The problem is when I do a setup capture, I don't get any short file names anywhere in the wsi file.
E.g. DatabaseFile.mdb will not have a short file name in the file table when i do a setup capture.
If I add the file manually I do get a short file name Databa~1.mdb|DatabaseFile.mdb in the file table.
What am I doing wrong
There are no configuration settings to control this, that I am aware of.
What operating system are you capturing on?
Are you using local capture or web capture?

Make sure that the following registry key value is 0 in the packaging build
