Summary: ODBCDriver Long file name
Initial Comment:
When using long filenames with the ODBCDriver element the entry in the registry
is not added correctly;
<Component Id='ODBCDriverInstall' Guid='Removed For Example'
SharedDllRefCount="yes">
<File Id='RecitalODBCSetupDLL' Name='RecitalODBCSetup.dll' DiskId='1'
Source='C:\Windows\System32\RecitalODBCSetup.dll' Vital='yes'>
</File>
<File Id='RecitalODBCDLL' Name='RecitalODBC.dll' KeyPath='yes' DiskId='1'
Source='C:\Windows\System32\RecitalODBC.dll' Vital='yes'>
<ODBCDriver Id='RecitalUniversalODBCDriver' Name='Recital Universal ODBC
Driver' SetupFile='RecitalODBCSetupDLL' />
</File>
</Component>
And the registry entries are
Driver
C:\WINDOWS\system32\nqovn5rh.dll|RecitalODBC.dll
Setup
C:\WINDOWS\system32\loeygij5.dll|RecitalODBCSetup.dll
They should be
Driver
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RecitalODBC.dll
Setup
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RecitalODBCSetup.dll

This is a two-fer bug, one a weakness in WiX and one in MSI: The
ODBCDriver table doc at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370547(VS.85).aspx says:
File_Setup
The setup DLL file for the driver if it is different than from Driver. The
File_ column is an external key into the File table. The filename entered
in the Filename column of that File table record must be in the short
filename format. The SFN|LFN syntax cannot be used.
WiX does nothing to enforce the SFN-only rule on the file. It would be
exceedingly difficult to enforce, however, as there's no requirement that
the files be in the same fragment/source file as the ODBCDriver element.
MSI's weakness is that it blindly takes whatever is specified in the
Filename column and stuff it in the registry.
The only workaround I can suggest is to stick with an 8.3 filename.
