How to configure Package Build Spec for Quick Drops?

Hi,

I am trying to prepare package installer for my quick drop using VIPM. I have selected "QuickDrop Plugins" in Destination and created the installer/package. After successful installation, quick drop files are missing...  Could be a permission issue?

 

I have also noticed that after I created package build, all quick drop VIs are copied to the C:\Users\<user_name>. Is this normal?

For me, under Destinations my QuickDrop Plugins Base Path is <LabVIEW>\resource and the Subdirectory is dialog\QuickDrop.

 

Then under Source File Settings I have a folder named plugins, and that is setup to have the destination of QuickDrop Plugins, and all folders and files under that are setup to use the destination of the parent.  I'm unsure if this package will have problems installing if the logged in user isn't an administrator.
