Error while creating installer in Labview 8.2

Hi,
       I am trying to build an installer for my application. I have included NI-VISA runtime 4.1, NI-488.2 2.5 and Labview 8.2.1 runtime engine as additional installers in the build specification. I am using the NI's GPIB-USB-HS in the application and hence have included NI-VISA and NI-488.2 in the installer. When I try to build the installer, it gives me the following error :
 
CDK_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> CDK_Engine_Build.vi >> CDK_Engine_PromptForMissingDist.vi

When I try to build the installer without including the NI-488.2 2.5, the build is successful. Can someone please let me know what are the files to be included for NI's GPIB-USB-HS hardware in the installer?.
 
Thanks in advance

Building an application with additional installers need the original DVD/CD where the product was installed from. You can set a checkbox to cache the product to your harddisk to avoid the use of the DVD/CD again. Maybe you have a problem with the cache.

You can just delete the cache by deleting the folders in C:\Programme\National Instruments\shared\ProductCache. Each folder is named with the version of the product so you can see if the product is part of the cache.

Another possibility is that something went wrong during installation of NI-488.2 dirver. Uninstall that driver, reboot the machine and install it again.

Be aware that there are registry entries for each cached product. For additional information look here.
