Installer build was unsuccessful, error code -21

I have just converted to windows 7 using labview 2012 and am trying to build an application installer.  The application builds without error but the installer ha the following error:

It appears that the installer has a problem adding the xlsx file to the install directory but the file does exist and used to work when building under 8.6.

Hi, 

 

In this case, the error means that the LabVIEW distribution builder cannot find the file. For instance, in the previous post, the file "DSP DER 111026.xlsx" cannot be found. You can verify the file is not found by looking at the Files tab in the Edit Installer dialog. The files that cannot be found will appear red. 

In order to correct this error, exit the Edit Installer dialog, and place the missing files in the correct directory or add the files in their current location to the project.

 

Regards,

KwokHow

I feel sheepish.  I had the file open in excel while trying to include in the build.  Thanks for your help.

Hi Manushak,

 

So by posting this problem on an older thread you are not going to get as much traffic as if you posted on a new thread, so I advise you to make a new thread for this issue.
