NI TestStand

Teststand deployment utility (Error in MDF API function: _MDFDistCopyList_GetCount)

That fixed the problem.

First I had to put the first NI DVD #1 back in my drive and start the build.

Next I had to put everything that I removed from my Product Cache back to the correct locations on my PC. Having some items removed from the Product Cache, as was a suggestion from NI, caused the installer to fail as it could not locate some items. I guess I would think the installer would PROMPT me to locate missing items but it did not.

Thanks for the help,
