Deployment with .VIMs

Solved!

I am trying to build a set of VIs that will be loaded dynamically by a built LabVIEW app (.exe)

I'm using a 'Source Distribution' type build spec.  One of the VI's to be loaded dynamically calls a malleable subVI which in turn calls another (ordinary) subVI.  That bottom-level subVI doesn't get copied by the builder (breaking the callers).  The malleable VI seems to be embedded in the built 'top-level' VI, it is not saved as a separate file; and when I open it (in the IDE), LabVIEW displays:

Apparently the Source Distribution builder gets confused by malleable VIs.  Is there a known workaround for this?

I found the solution:

Build Spec -> Additional Exclusions -> Disconnect unused inline subVIs

must be unchecked.

Well, that worked for a while.  But now it's doing the same thing again.
