What I ended up doing to fix this is to recreate the project. Note that the original project was created using LV 8.2.1, recreated using 8.6.1 and then again using the current version and then recompiled without error on SP1 of 2010. Cross linking seems to happen if you do something like this where the compiler is not explicitly rebuilding the whole project. If that happens the dependency list gets confused and the build and deploy mechanism seems to fail. That, at least, seems to be my experience. You may have to build each vi component from the bottom up since that forces the project to recompile each sub-vi before doing a final build of the project.

Good Luck.

Hello,

I am trying to build an installer from my project and I have some issues. I red all the post of this subject but it didn't helped me to fix the issue. You will see a screen of the error message I have when trying to build the installer. The problem is : when I include all the files contained in my labview project except the build for the executable, I don't have any errors and the installer is built. But I want to add the build of the executable to build the installer, I have this error message : 

CDK_Item_OnDoProperties.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Item_OnDoProperties.vi >> AB_UI_FRAMEWORK.vi >> AB_UI_Frmwk_Installer.lvclass:Build.vi >> Installer.lvclass:Build_from_Wizard.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Build.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Engine_Build.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFDistCopyList_CopyItem.vi


The following errors and warnings were recorded during the build:

Error:
Failed to copy a distribution.
Details:
Copying distribution 'National Instruments Device Drivers - August 2013' from: C:\National Instruments Downloads\NI Device Drivers\Aug13\ to: C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MDF\ProductCache\
Additional details:
Internal system error.
An internal system operation returned the error "The system cannot find the path specified.".
Code:
-32

The executable is circled in red on the second screen.
Can anyone help me fixing this issue ?

Thank you very much,

François

Hello, François!

I think you may get a faster answer if you post as a new post. This post is quite a few years old already, so posting it here means it may not be seen by many people.

Also, can you please clarify what you have done to get the error in the new post? You are getting an error when trying to build an installer? What are you trying to include in this installer (Installer Properties >> Additional Installers)?

Good luck, I hope you find a solution soon!

You may be seeing some sort of permissions issue. Modern versions of windows do not like attempts to access the C:\ root directory very much and the image shows my build being limited to access within the C:\Users\<user name>\Documents bounds. Once the installer is built the application sorts out where the built binary ends up. By default that (on my system with a 32 bit version of the LabVIEW Pro software) goes to the C:\Program Files (x86)\<Program Name> location.
