8.3 notation is turned on by default in W2K.  You would have to turn it off
with a registry change.  However, 16-bit apps would have problems running on
that box.  That may not be an issue for you.  We have this same problem in
restoring a SQL server box.  We have to go back to the registry to see what
should be pointing to what, and manually make the folder name changes to
reflect the correct app.

The only work around I know is when the box is built and before application
installs begin, disable 8.3 naming, and this should perhaps resolve the
issue.

Hello!

        On my cluster node after installation in the "Program Files" was
created
folder called "Microsoft frontpage" (Capital M). I  have installed MSSQL
("Microsoft SQL Server" folder). Unfortunately the MSSQLSERVER  service
has got "Path to executable" set to
"C:\Progra~1\Micros~3\MSSQL\binn\sqlservr.exe" (8+3 notation).
        After the C: drive restore I noticed that there is "microsoft
frontpage"
(small m) directory. Now the "Micros~3" points to the wrong place.

        The question is where the 'M' has been changed to 'm'. Have you got
any
idea why MS use 8+3 notation??? Is it possible to change "Path to
executable".

Best regards.
