Win 98 user (stand-alone) tries to install an app that cancels when it looks for its first LFN. Short FN are accessed OK. Win Explorer shows names truncated at 8 with no long name. A DOS DIR also shows truncation (no ~ in pos.7) and no long names at the right of the line. XCOPY works (from the CD to C:) only until it hits the 1st LFN. It is obviously only recognizing the 8.3 format. Is there a registry key that says -only use 8.3 format ??? The user has been using only DOS apps so it hasnt been a problem until now. The CPU is a 2-year old Dell 1st ed with no updates.
