DLL that is being stored in HKLM\...\SharedDLLs is having DLL long file name truncated

[Daniel J McKinnon]

Okay InstallShield support, here's one to truly test the powers that you
have at your disposal.

I have an IS5.53 project that has a 10 character shared dll (TlxDlgUtil.dll)
which is shared and locked. When the install is performed, the file name
that is in the registry under HKLM\...\SharedDLLs is being truncated to 8
characters.

I have another project that is IS6.2 and the same DLL gets properly set in
the registry and not truncated. This truncation is a major problem because
it looks like 2 separate DLLs in the registry when this is not the case at
all (and reference counts aren't being set correctly). We cannot currently
switch the other project to IS6.2 so we have to get this solved.

Why is IS5.53 doing this, and how do I fix it???

This is very similar to a post that Greg W put up on 04/12/2000

Thanks!!!
