deployment utility cites errors with run-time menus during build

The TS deployment utility cites the following errors during the build process

I tried adding the rtm's to my TS workspace, that didn't work. I tried removing them from the workspace, that also didn't work. This program was originally written with LabVIEW 7.1.1, and I have upgraded the test set to current IDE (NI Devloper Suite 2013 DS1). The problem appears to be related to the TS Deployment Utility only, as this project works just fine as development code. As far as I can tell, these rtm's are being incorrectly linked during the build process.

I have created a SR for this issue (#2020215), but time is of the essence, as my production line has been halted until this build issue is resolved.

All vi's have been updated to LV v2012 SP1, all duplicate vi's have been removed, yet issue with build persists???

Suggestion anyone, please

The Deployment Utility is basically saying that the files (which are top-levels, either called from a TestStand workspace added to the deployment or from a directory that was added to the deployment) have some linker error. 

If you are not using run-time menus and you are completely sure that you don't need the files, one way to fix the deployment would be to uncheck the run-time menus on the Distributed Files tab so that the Deployment Utility doesn't even try to add them to the deployment. 

Another possible solution would be to copy the files to the locations specified by the log so that they can be found by the build process. 

Hope this helps,

Well, I do need these run-time menu's, and they are at the location shown by this log file? I will try to uncheck these files in the deployment utility, and just copy them to the directory after the install.

Here is what I now get during the build process. The TSDU logs tell me there was an error, but does not tell me where or why???
