create installer and running: MsiError 87: <Unable to format error record.>

Ever since I have installed the Labview 2011 beta I am in trouble when creating installers that include the NI runtime.

Whether it is Labview 2010 or 2011, when I have created the installer and run it, I -and everybody else- gets the warning:

MsiError 87: <Unable to format error record.>

And the installer qwill quit.

 

When I exclude the runtime from the installer it works nicely. What can I do to fix it?

if I exclude the NI VC2008MSMs installer it works.

Seems this file is corrupted. I thought it was located in the shared folder in the NI dir. So I deleted it but it makes no difference.

Is there a way to replace the component?

Same issue for me.

After installing LabVIEW  2011 beta, every LabVIEW version on my machine generates installer which behave in the same way.

I'd reported it as a bug.

Did this issue get resolved?  I am having the same problem. I checked the 2011 beta forum, but didn't see anything about it?

Did any of you actually read the beta agreement?

 

Issues with the beta are not be be discussed in public so don't keep posting here.

 

The terms and conditions of the beta program are posted on the beta site and you agreed to them, so make sure to fully understand them. The only public information is that a beta exists. Everything else is confidential.

 

Let me put it in a few simple words: 😄
