Morning Adrian!
We originally saw the problem using mallow and during our problem hunting we
tried tallow just to try and narrow down the problem. One thing I noticed
today is that our build server had reset NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation back to 1
so looks like we have a policy that is resetting it, but after changing it back
to 0 and rebooting it works ok with dir names so I'm not sure, sorry!
You could try mallow just to see if it gives you the same result, although I
expect it will but worth a try anyway.
Dan

Hi Dan, thanks!... that worked for Files but it not for Directories... do you
have a similar issue with directories as well?

Hi,
We had this problem recently as well.
Have a look at registry setting:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation
We've got it set to 0 on our build server that was giving us grief
before.

Subject: [WiX-users] Tallow generates invalid names
Hi, I am experimenting a very weird tallow behavior. Basically I'm
executing the tallow.exe from a command line and it's generating invalid names
(with more than 8+3 characters) instead of name/longnames. I'm also using
tallow in a build process so it produces candle crashes due to invalid names.
This strange behavior only happens in one machine (tallow had worked fine until
now and we can't reproduce this behavior in our dev boxes).
For example: Tallow generates the following:
<Directory Id="directory4" Name="Solutions">
<Component Id="component3" DiskId="1" Guid="PUT-GUID-HERE">
<File Id="file6" Name="SampleSolution.ico"
src="c:\MySolution\SampleSolution.ico" />
</Component>
</Directory>
It should has produced Name="Sample~1.ico"
LongName="SampleSolution.ico". Any ideas? Has someone experimented something
similar?
Thanks,
-Adrian
