LabView 2013 Application Builder bug deleting destination

[michele.santucci]

I found that trying to eliminate a destination within an installer defined in LabView corrupts the installer itself and I found no way to recover it (I'm trying to investigate the XML source just now). Someone knows how to deal with this bug?

When you say "eliminate a destination within an installer" are you saying that you are editing an installer, i.e. an EXE file?

Doing any sort of manual edits to an EXE file will almost certainly corrupt it, yes.

Or are you saying that you have a build specification for an installer in a LabVIEW project and there's something in that specification that you can't edit properly?  If that's the case, then it might be a bug, might not, but we need more information, and preferably a copy of the project file.

Yes this's exaclty what I was meaning.

It is difficult to reproduce the problem, I found that sometime closing and reopening labview just after deleting the destination clean up the issue but in may other cases (probably when I made some other changes into installer or with complex installers) I haven't be able to recover it and I had ro rewrite the installer from scratch.
One error that's easy to reproduce is the 'default installer directory' random change ... that's somewhat connected with this issue.. when adding or deleting a folder to destinations the  'default installer directory' mark is randomly changed but it doesn't become noticeable until the installer is closed and reopened.
