Problems with Installer LabVIEW 2010 DS

[Robert_Deschambault]

Hi,

I am trying to build an installer for an .exe using the project tool.  I can build the .exe, but I get the following error message when I try to build the installer:

CDK_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Build.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Engine_Build.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFBuildDist_Build.vi

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The installer build seems to be unable to find the following directory:

'C:\National InstrumentsDownloads\NI-Serial\3.7.0\Products\MDFSupport\MDF'

Can you browse to this directory using the Windows Explorer, or is this not present on your system anymore?

I have same errors, plz see above, can anyone help?

I had a corrupted installation due to a computer crash that happened around the same time.  I fixed my problems by removing LabVIEW and reinstalling from scratch.  🙂

Yes I fixed my problem as well, after I hook up the called dll file with my project file.

Cheers
