Ridiculous number of directories when build includes Report Generation Toolkit

I was getting error 7 with the report generation toolkit, so I followed the steps here and it works. Only problem is, it makes a different support directory for each individual file in the NIReport.llb directory.

 

The calendar and data directories are my own. The rest are the RGT.

 

Help? haha.

One more thing to add, I have autopopulating folders. Because of this there are some subVIs that are no longer used but include old report generation toolkit VIs. Therefore these report generation VIs are still in dependencies, but are not being used. Could this be the issue? I am going to get rid of autopopulating folders and see if I can fix it this way. I have another project with RGT and it doesn't have this problem with the build, and it's set up virtually the same.

I set NIReport.llb to always included like it said, but it wasn't showing up after I did a build. So...I left it included always, I created my own destination with the same name (NIReport.llb) on the Destinations page of the app builder, went to the Source File Settings page of the app builder, selected NIReport.llb and set the location to be my NIReport.llb folder I created. I did a build and this solved the problem and all the NIReport.llb files were placed in a NIReport.llb directory. Someone pleaseeee tell me if there is a better way, but this will work for now.

still creating those support directories. I just didn't notice. Oh well, I'll leave it for now since it works. Still open to suggestions.

Could you describe your application further? What VIs you were using in the toolkit, when the issue started, has it ever not done this, etc. The more information we have the more we can help! If your workaround is a satisfactory solution then let us know that too. I'm trying to reproduce the issue, but I could use more information. If you are able to/feel comfortable posting the VI producing the issue or a screen shot please do so.
