Error building LabVIEW Installer

I have been building a LabVIEW application for a number of years using LabVIEW 2010.

 

The latest version builds successfully but I get a very long error message when building the Installer.

And in the Detail box

Visit the Request Support page at ni.com/ask to learn more about resolving this problem.
Use the following information as a reference:

 

 

There is no following information.

I have re-installed LabVIEW 2010, but no difference.

What is missing from MAX 4.7?

Why is the build trying to access folder CBMU 1_3 (a project from 2015, many versions ago)?

Any help appreciated.

Some device driver or visa or even teststand...

Look at your dependency.

According to TestStand Issues and Web Content that you should be aware of

 

Issue #2: You may receive Warnings about missing product dependencies when including Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) or NI 488.2 in your installer 

These warnings do not negatively affect your installer and can be ignored if the missing product ID matches one of the following:

{A1DD654C-E897-4C46-8077-12873C75D79D}

{11D580A9-CAA9-4FAE-ACCE-008751A7AE9F}

 


So we can ignore the first section and concentrate on:

 

**************
*** Error: Windows SDK function returned an error. (Error code -12)
The system cannot find the path specified.

**************
*** Error Details:
Error in MDF API function: _MDFDistCopyList_CopyItem
Windows function FindFirstFile returned an error. Error code: 3
*** End Error Report
**************


I'd check out:  Why are some EULAs Missing When Including Additional NI Software in my Distribution? and see if that helps error code 3.


Let us know how you get on.

 

Kind regards, 

Rebecca
