InstallShield Error Code 6151

Hello,

I have the following problem with a msi or exactly with an ism:

After I make a built, I get the error code 6151 at flexnet adminstudio 7.5.
I read about this error that the names of the shortcuts might be too long.
the shortcuts names are not as long as they should be to become this error. the next tip i got was that the filenames are too long. but they weren't too long too.
but if i delete some of the files the built works without an error! i've to delete many files and so i don't know exactly witch files are responsable for the error. so what can i do?

thank you for your answers

P.S.: Error 6151 cannot save target database

unfortunately you have to isolate the file which causes this problem by try and error. my tip: get back to your original snapshot and delete one file at one time. if it doesn't cause the error put it back into the installation and proceed with the next potential troublemaking file.
this is kinda tedious and boring work, but in that cause probably your only chance....
