This isn't an area that I've tested with the DLL, however. Using the short path isn't all that bad. I know that in the case of some versions of IIS, you can't use an LFN.

Thanks, Ed. I will try to put double quotes around the path and see, if it would fix the problem.

Right now I'm having problems with the installation, I created. I guess, I should not use files from another directory while building Setup, right? (I didn't put MakeShortCut.exe and icon file into the directory, I used to build this installation).
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
