Error when loading customer's application build script

[OlderJohn]

I'm updating a program for a customer to include a module that we have developed. We're required to use an application builder script because of the way the VIs work.

Anyways, when I attempt to load the build script for the LabView 6.1 application, eventually an error box comes up with the following message:

Error 1 occured at Program Files:\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb\_Word Dynamic VIs.vi - invalid path.

Possible Reasons:

LabVIEW: An input parameter is invalid.
or
NI-488: Command requires GPIB Controller to be Controller in Charge.

I'm confused about the Program Files:\ syntax. Is this a valid reference? I can only assume so, as I believe they used this build script in the past. I'm currently working on Win2k, and I do not know what the customer's machine is running.

Is there a particular Windows or LabView setting that would let this build script work? If not, is there an application build script editor that I can use to change the file reference?

Yes it's a valid path, see attached screen cap of the exact path on my computer (except version 8.2).

It looks like the target computer is just missing the MS Office toolkit, or the installation was not Typical. Tell the user to install the toolkit in the proper directory and it should compile.

Actually, if you look more carefully at the path is says Program Files:\ - note that "Program Files" takes the place of a "C" drive. This does not look like a correct path to me, although it's still possible (though perhaps not related) that the Office Toolkit is not installed.

It seems there was a difference when I uninstalled and re-installed the Report Generation Toolkit provided by my customer. I just selected the oldest version of MS Office.

By the way, I'm working on this program in it's own little Virtual PC on my machine because I can't make modifications as the customer's computer is used fairly often. I'm sure that the original computer would work flawlessly, but I had to work on this mockup at our office.

I also remember from my own past dealings with the Word and Excel toolkits that when building a EXE, you have to tell the Application Builder to Include the Dynamic VI's having to do with Word and/or Excel.
