error -6103 could not find file on Primary Output

I am new to Install Shield Spring, so please excuse my ignorance...

I am converting an old Visual Studio Installer project (vdproj) to InstallShield, and set up everything, and then tried to create my installer. I get this error:
error : -6103: Could not find file "C:\2012\bridges\manualextract\obj\Win32\Release\ManualExtract.exe"

In my application file section I added project outputs, from my ManualExtract project (in same solution), so I have "ManualExtract.Primary Output" listed.

There are 2 issues with the path Install Shield is trying to use:

1. manualextract\obj\Win32\Release\ doesn't exist.
my project uses: $(SolutionDir)$(Configuration) which becomes
"C:\2012\bridges\manualextract\release\"

2. The file name is incorrect, my output is defined as: $(Configuration)\ManualExtractBridge.exe


-----------------
Any ideas why Install Shield can't figure this out automatically, and or how to fix it?

Install Shield can't seem to handle Macros in paths either (if I manually modify the .isl file)

Any help greatly appreciated.

The file may not exist in the location where the product is searching.

Kindly check if there is sufficient space on the target drive.

Hope this helps.
