I typically change the ~ to _ (I think that's what heat does). The problem
with using ~ in the name is that it actually could conflict with a file on the
system. I'd say this was a theoretical except that someone actually hit it in
Office some long time back and Derek added this warning so no one else would
have to debug the problem he hit.

Subject: [WiX-users] WiX v2 File element question ( ICE30 errors )
What's the WiX best practice for the following scenario?
Using WiXAware to generate v2 schema consider these files:
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll
WiXAware generates file elements with attributes:
Name="Microsof" LongName="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll"
Name="Microsof" LongName="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll"
It builds without errors but I get ICE30 Errors ( SFN nname collisions) because
the file table looks like:
Microsof|Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll
Microsof|Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll
In my InstallShield generated installs I don't get ICE30 errors because the
file table looks like:
MICROS~1.DLL|Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll
MICROS~4.DLL|Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll
If I try to put this into my WXS I get a candle warning about the attribute
being ambigious.
The install works either way and it's kind of a non issue because my .NET
assemblies would never work on an SFN system anyways.... but I'm trying to be
really clean and I find myself caught between a candle warning and an ICE Error.
