I have been attempting to write an installer using the application builder. The Installer software runs to completion (I go through the steps of loading the driver disks, etc.), but the build is always unsuccessful. I have had this problem ever since I installed Labview 8.2 on a separate computer staring 6 months ago. Originally, I had 8.2 installed on a laptop which has since been uninstalled, but those builds worked. I recently updated to 8.2.1 and hoped that installing the new software would fix the problem. It didn't.
I would very much like to know what is wrong. It appears that it is
looking for a nonexistant file from a previous build that I made on the
old computer. Is this error a result of caching the driver information and how do I fix it?
Here is the list of the possible errors:
CDK_CreateNewWizard_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_CreateNewWizard_Invoke.vi >> CDK_InstallerConfiguration_Editor.vi >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> CDK_Engine_Build.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFBuildDist_Build.vi
