Looks like this was fixed in the newest build of anaconda (4.3.0 .1). Unfortunately looks like it requires uninstall and reinstall as the locations seems to have changed drastically (from some subsubsub folder off of AppData to something higher up, under user directory). (But that might be the effect of testing 4.3.0.1 on a different machine.)

Here is changelog for 4.3.0.1: In this “micro” patch release, we fixed a problem with the Windows installers which was causing problems with Qt applications when the install prefix exceeds 30 characters. No new Anaconda meta-packages correspond to this release (only new Windows installers).
