Discovered quite mysterious situation in VFP7( don't remember in VFP6 ). When .exe is run from Wise InstallerMaster 8.14 doing some post install tasks then certain functions returning current directory or including it such as

sys(5)+curdir()
or
sys(16)

return sort of Dos path c:\outbou~3 instead of c:\outbound123
When the same .exe is run from Windows Explorer the directory returned is okay.
Any clues what's going on and how to overcome it?

Thank you
Michael
