Sometimes an app which you are delivering to the PE, is case sensitive when opening certain needed files.
An actual sample is the '34kb ISO' issue where mkisofs.exe adds the boot sector and does not find it at any UC / LC mismatch.

Because you never know how the file is written on the source CD (maybe it is different at a different user), and you also never know how the UC / LC is changed during the build process, with this small script insert you can make sure that the file is named as you want.

Put your candidate into a variable, e.g

Set,%myvar%,%target_sys%\lower_UPPER.tst

Insert a simple rename

FileRename,%myvar%,%myvar%

This lets the candidate in the final target appear exactly as you have written in the Set definition.

Good solution.

Also worth mentioning for other readers that this was related to a bug discovered on some Vista DVD sources because of the upper/lower case differences that affected the output of mkisofs.
