Hi
I'm using wise version 6.0 to install a VB6 exe. Everything is fine EXCEPT ...... when I set the installation path in our ini file, I can't set the full path - instead it is giving me back a ~ character after the first few characters. I know that this is the way it used to be when you could't use more than 8 characters in Windows 3.1 but how do I get rid of the ~ and set the full path in the ini file. Its really doing my head in - ANY help would be much appreciated.
