Distribution builder keeps asking for LabVIEW 8.5 distribution, won't read CD

I'm building a distribution of my application.
I've had to load 5 or 6 different CDs so that the installer can get info for drivers, vision, vision acquisition, etc., but now it continues to tell me:

Locate the "NI LabVIEW 8.5" distribution.  LabVIEW needs to copy a component installed or updated by the distribution to continue building the installer.

It automatically looks in the CD drive of my computer, so I've tried loading the CD with my latest distribution:

NI Developer Suite
Fourth Quarter - 2007

NI LabVIEW 8.5
Professional Development System
for Windows Vista/XP/2000

and I've checked the box for "Cache components from this distribution" as I have when loading every other CD I've had to load for this.

It tells me:
Invalid location for "NI LabVIEW 8.5"

I've tried all sorts of folders on my C:/ drive, such as in C:/Program Files/National Instruments/...[tried about 100 things here]
but still no luck.

What am I supposed to do to satisfy this thing?

Problem solved.

I needed to go back to older versions and found a DVD titled:

NI Developer Suite
Third Quarter 2007

NI LabVIEW 8.5 and Device Drivers DVD
Professional Development System
for Windows Vista/XP/2000



I then also had to find an old LabVIEW 8.2.1 installation disk to finish things off.  Good thing I kept a drawer full of hundreds of old LabVIEW CDs...
