I have an app, recently rebuilt in VFP9 and packaged using InstallShield Express V5. It installs and runs fine on W98, W2K AND XP OS's - but NT4 generates the error "The procedure entry point GetLongPathNameA could not be located in the dynamic link library Kernel32.dll"
I have found references on the web to the fact that GetLongPathName does not work under NT4 and suggestions to use an alternative API. However, I do not use GetLongPathName in my application. So I can't use an alternative! Where will the call to GetLongPathName be coming from, and how do I avoid it?

( I do not know why the error message shows an "A" suffixed to GetLongPathName. Is this a clue?)

Thanks in anticipation
