error 6307 and 1007
Never mind.....moved solution to a shorter directory path....
Error 65 -6307: Unable to extract one or more files to 'C:\Users\John\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Setup\Setup\Setup\Express\Interm\MergeModules\policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_OpenMP_x86.24876AE8_F1D7_393B_8A72_D65B918D2BFB'. The file path is longer than the limit set by the operating system. Change the build location of the current release to a shorter path to resolve this issue.

InstallShield uses paths with these huge string of subdirectories that it adds, so adding even a moderate root path produces composite paths that exceed the OS path name limit. Our root paths are defined by our configuration management system, and are not easily changed. As a consequence, ALL of my projects can no longer build install kits after "upgrading" to In InstallShield.
I think this is a fairly major flaw in the InstallShield product.
Is there a work around that doesn't require reconfiguring all of my workspaces?

A similar problem exist with Microsoft Visual Studio. The simplest solution seems to be creating environment variables to replace some of the long paths. It worked for me. Here is the thread
