Error message from Install Build
LabView 2014 on Windows 7
What might this mean?
Call Library Function Node in NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFProdInfoList_Close.vi->CDK_DistParts_GetInstalledProducts_CORE.vi->CDK_DistParts_GetInstalledProducts.vi->CDK_Validate_DistParts_2010.vi->IB_MSI.lvclass:Engine_PreBuild.vi->IB_MSI.lvclass:Build.vi->CDK_Engine_Main.vi->CDK_Build_Invoke.vi->CDK_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller

It might mean there's a problem with an installation of some NI software. The build should dump a debug log named something like My Project_My Installer.log into %temp%. We'd need to look at the log to see why NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFProdInfoList_Close.vi is throwing an error.

It means it's broke,,,
Seriously though folks, this sort of error can unfortunately occur because it is possible for you to create an application that will build correctly, and the standalone will even operate, but you can't build an installer for it. What is the error number you are getting?
I have seen this sort of error arise for a variety of reason -- none of which make any kind of logical sense:
Basically, a good place to start is to go through the "Dependencies" and fix anything that shows up as broken -- even if it has nothing to do with your current application.

There is nothing in C:\Temp.
I cannot create an installer in either LV2013 or LV 2014, for any program.

Back from vacation last week, so just now catching up on this thread.

The %temp% folder for your system is likely under C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Local\Temp, and not C:\Temp, unless the %temp% environment variable has been modified. Take a look there, or while logged in, Start >> Run >> %temp% >> click 'OK'
As far as *which* software might have an install issue, it's probably not the "App Builder" itself, but some product being included in your installer from the Additional Installers page of the installer builder editor. The error in NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFProdInfoList_Close.vi would happen right after enumerating a list of NI installers to be included with your installer during a build. This is where the detailed log would come in handy.
