Hi:

I found a weird behavior using getdir().
I made a small "post setup" executable to be run after the installation.
Mainly what it does is ask the user to choose the directory where the app was installed (is there a way to tell the setup to pass the installation directory as a parameter to a post setup exe?).

I call getdir() and when the dialog shows it has 8.3 names in it.
If the user climbs up in the directory hierarchy, then the LFN's show!

eg:
If the current directory was c:\program files, the getdir() dialog shows c:\progra~1 and then if you doubleclick on c:\ you get the whole root directory and this time it shows \Program Files.

Strange thing is I tried to reproduce it from inside VFP and it doesn't happen.

Is this a documented bug?
