When AppInstaller lays down the package under WindowsApps, it creates folders and files as needed. The package format does not contain any short-names, and what happens is that created folders get their typical short-name generated on disk using the normal formula (first match gets ~1, second ~2, etc). However, the file portion does not get a short-name written. This should be automatic.
Yes I'm aware that we could get mis-ordering of the ~#'s (a problem best solved the way App-V did it by generating unique short-names at packaging and bring those along in the package), but just getting AppInstaller to generate the short-names on those files would be helpful and likely solve compatibility for several vendor apps (often, the short-name request happen due to COM).
