Why I can't create an installer

Solved!
Go to solution

I am creating an installer for my application but I get the following error when building it.

 

CDK_Item_OnDoProperties.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Item_OnDoProperties.vi >> CDK_InstallerConfiguration_Editor.vi >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> CDK_Engine_PreBuild.vi >> CDK_Validate_DistParts.vi >> CDK_DistParts_GetInstalledProducts.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFProdInfoList_Open.vi

 

Also, the Additional Installers List is empty.

 

I have read many other posts but none has given a definite solution.  I already repaired my intallation of LabView 8.5 and it did not solve the problem.

I think this is the key to the problem. I suspect some software you installed after LabVIEW (prior to you trying a repair) screwed up the list. Do you remember what you installed after installing LabVIEW?

 

A last resort would be to do a complete uninstall of all NI software and then reinstall. A last last resort would be to uninstall, use MSIBlast, and then reinstall.  Note: I'm not suggesting to do the above steps, but you might as well know about them should everything else fail.

Thank you for the answer.  I did not install software after LabView 8.5, but I did install a Trial Version od LabView 8.6, and the Visa4.2 Sotware a couple of weeks BEFORE.  Do you think that may be the problem?

Can I uninstall everything without using the software you mentioned?

 

thanks again.

If you want to try to uninstall the NI software you can do so from the Add/Remove Programs. MSIBlast is only intended to be used if the uninstallation fails in some way and stuff gets left behind.

OK, this is the solution that worked for me.  Thank you for your help.

 

-Using msiBlast, unistall EVERY NI product.  It took me about 3 hours.

-Remove the register trees mentioned in the link above.

- Run a clean up software, in my case Vaio Care.

- Reinitalize

- Reinstall Lab View BEFORE anything else (VISA, anything)

- And there you go!

 

Apparently, having installed the 8.6 version before did something to the 8.5 version.
