Subj : ParamStr(0) contains only short path to exe

I started building an application and ask for ParamStr(0) during starting up. But the path stored there is looking like this:

E:\\VSWORK~1\\VS-WOR~2\\ABC-GUI.exe

With this i run into errors e.g. trying to run other executables located in the same place or relatve to. I tried all kinds of strings (String, string, char*,...), if there might be a problem with converting the erntry ParamStr(0), but nothing did change. I opened a new and empty project, too, asking the same parameter and ist will work.

So what is wrong with the settings of this project? Or what can the problem be? I am happy about any suggestions.
