Error while building Installer (Installer missing)

[Joao_Luiz]

Hi all,

I am using LabView 2016 on a Windows 10 machine.

I am getting the following error while building any installer for my applications, even a simple VI with a button.

I tried inserting the Labview 2016 disk that i had, but it had no effect. I updated my development suit and runtime software to the last version, but it had no effect too.

Below, you can see the installers that I am using. (I tried both ways).

Installer (1)           Installer (2)

In the past, I used to build my installers with no problems, but since I changed my development PC, I am getting these errors while building the installer.

The .EXE file builds with no problem, and runs smooth on the development machine.

Anyone had a similar problem in the past? 

Thanks in advanced!

If the installers are missing, you need the exact same installer source to fix it. Not just a disk that you have (if that's what you mend).

Not sure how this situation came to be. Perhaps you untagged this when installing?

I definitely had similar situations, but usually this standard stuff is installed (properly).

Of course, most of there packages are not required. Unselecting them will shrink your installer (once it works again).

Thanks for the reply,

During the past months, I installed the suggested updates from NI Software (VI Package, NI MAX, etc..)... and some of them where 2019 version, some 2016. I think that at some point, the installers got lost and are conflicting with each other now.

I got it solved... Uninstalled all NI software from my HD, deleted all the related folders, and installed the LabVIEW 2016 from my DVD again. 

As you suggested, I installed the standard stuff just to be sure that I wasn´t missing anything.

Now it is working fine!
