Installer build error code-21 Labview 8.6.1

[TEC 2]

While attempting to build an installer I get an error code -21. What is the error and how do I correct it?

TEC 2-

I have a few additional questions about your application:

1. Does the VI you created in LabVIEW 8.6.1 work correctly?
2. Does the exe file you created work correctly?
3. Are you calling DLLs or other files with this exe?
4. If so, do those files call any other files?  This is typically why this error occurs.  The files that are called by the DLLs also need to be included in the build.
5. Please provide the whole error.  A screen shot would be ideal.

I also have this problem.  The executable build itself works correctly, but the installer fails to build.  There are a number of DLL dependencies, but they are all included and present in the build and in the installer Source Files.  I put CDK.EnableLog=True in my LabVIEW.ini and logged the error from the installer build process.  Here is an excerpt from the relevant section:

 I've also tried the same with a simple test application and it build/installs correctly, so I know it is my project somehow.  One notable difference is that I previously had namespace conflicts in the executable build that were resolved by the following these instructions:

I hope someone can help.  I need to deploy this application soon.
