I have an appliction called "RTSD" for which I have successfully created executables and installers before.
Just recently, I've made modifications to the program and created a new executable. However, when I try to create a new installer I get errors. For what it is worth, this is the first time I've tried to create an installer since upgrading to the Feb 2007 version of LabVIEW 8.2.1.
When I run the install generator, I get a dialog box asking me to:
Locate the "RTSD" distribution. LabWIEW needs to copy a
component installed or updated by the distribution to continue
building the installer.
<suggeted path>
C:\LV_projects\builds\RTSD\RTSD_Install\Volume
"..\RTSD\RTSD_Install\Volume" is where previous intstalls have been created/dumped.
It's not even clear if it's looking for a file or folder. If I give a file, it spits back the message:
You cannot choose this folder name;
a file of the name already exists.
If I hit the "Use Current Folder" button, I get a message in RED type:
Invalid location for "RTSD".
When I cancel the build (for no answer seems to satisfy), I get the following "Possible reasons" message:
LabVIEW cannot locate some components
necessary to build the installer. The components
are from the following distribution(s):
Distribution name: RTSD
Last known distribution path:
C:\LV_projects\builds\RTSD\RTSD_Install\Volume
Why is it looking for a "distribution" of the same name as the application install it is creating?
Any help is appreciatied.
