Short file name question?

Im trying to add some short file names to a Wise installer to fix validation errors, which is simple for the most part. However if I have the following two files:

LongFile1.dll LongFile1.EN.dll

Should these be:

LongFi~1.dll and LongFi~2.dll ? Or do I have to do anything special becuase of the .EN.dll?

Yes, they are named LONGFI~1.DLL and LONGFI~2.DLL (all letters capitalized in 8.3 file format). Which is which is determined by the order they are created.

In a cmd window you can type dir /x to view the short file names as well.
