FN878485 asked a question.
Hello,
I use Japanese Installshield 2018 R2 Express.
I want to create a folder with 9 characters or more in the start menu with Installshield.
But,If the shortcut file name is 9 characters or more, it will fail.
Do you have any good solutions in regards to that?
Thank you,
Fumi
Usually error 7254 happens for a migrated projects, due to the feature introduced in IS2016, so if you are facing this issue for upgraded project, then you need to delete and re-add the strings again in latest IS version.
The error you see is due to the validation that was introduced in IS2016 for validating localized string values
You can check the below release notes and the master issue number IOJ-1807101

If you are seeing this issue for newly created project as well in IS2018, then please follow the below steps to fix the issue.
To fix this issue you need to You need to enable NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation option in the machine, follow the steps
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
"The registry state of NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is X..."
State Values:
0 = 8.3 file creation is enabled on all volumes on the system
1 = 8.3 file creation is disabled on all volumes on the system
2 = 8.3 file creation is enabled per volume on the system (default)
3 = 8.3 file creation is DISABLED on all volumes except the system volume
Reference:
Once you enable this, if you delete and re add the string again the shortname will be created for the strings and you wont see the error 7354.
If you want to manually edit the string yes you can do it, just follow the below kb link
