win32com short path name on 2k

[bytecolor]

Hi people,

Using win32com on 2k SP3...
>>> import win32com.client as w32c
>>> fc = w32c.Dispatch('Featurecam.Application')
>>> fc.InstallPath
u'C:\\PROGRA~1\\FEATUR~1'
>>>

Using win32com on XP Professional SP2...
>>> import win32com.client as w32c
>>> fc = w32c.Dispatch('Featurecam.Application')
>>> fc.InstallPath
u'C:\\Program Files\\FeatureCAM'
>>>

Why the short vs long names?
