Convert long file name to short name in W98
 

Hello,

Currently I having a problem write my log file in Win98.

e.g path: C:\Program files\Mylog\log.txt

when my program execute the above path, it's will fail.
It's possible to convert the log file name in to short filename.

Because the $INSTDIR give me the log file name. Hence when write to log file, it's failed.

Please advice,
Thx,
LOOI

You should try to make your program fit for long file names. In some cases short file names do not exist (I didn't believe this myself until I had this issue with Win2000, NTFS and "Documents and Settings").
