Hi Holt,
What happens if you create a new system definition file (SDF), add the CAN ports, and deploy that? If it's successful, try the CAN demo one more time and let me know the results.
VeriStand will not redeploy dependencies (or check them again) unless it sees a change in the SDF. By creating a new SDF, we will ensure that the XNET libraries are deployed. An alternative to creating a new SDF is to modify your existing SDF, save it, revert changes, then save again. This will let VeriStand know that the SDF changed and will redeploy dependencies.
