Error while creating installer

I have just upgraded from LabView6.1 FDS to MSDev.Suite (PDS) and after completing upgrade/installation I have find out that I am unable to create any installer by my Ap.Builder. Every attempt to create it ends with error message �26096� - look at attached snapshot. Ap.Builder looks working normally without "create installer" option.
What is wrong ?

This error is probably due to a dll conflict. If you have Visual Studio .NET installed or Orca 2.0, then you have a newer version of mergemod.dll on your system that is not backwards compatible with the one that was shipped with LabVIEW 6.1. In order to generate installers with LabVIEW you need to unregister the one installed by .NET and reregister the one installed by LabVIEW by doing the following:
Open a command prompt
change to the "\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSI Tools" directory
run "regsvr32 /u mergemod.dll"
This should report that the unregister was successful
change to the "\Program Files\National Instruments\shared\Installer" directory
run "regsvr32 mergemod.dll"
This should report that the register was successful
Now A
pplication Builder should be able to generate installers.

I just followed your suggestion successfully, and re-built my application. However, I continue to receive the same error message. I am using XP professional edition. Does it make any difference?
