Labview Installer Problems

Hi,

I have been using Labview 8.2.1 Professional for years developing customer user interfaces. I have started to receive several field incidents of installer failures. Some of the error encountered include:

 

- "Fatal Error!! Required MSI property PersonalFolder is an invalid location "R:\"

- Error 1335.  The cabinet file 'MDFSupport1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. I can use the exact same installer on a local machine here.

- The NI-ORB 1.6.0f0 installation has failed with the following error.  The installation package could not be opened.

- The NI MDF Support installation has failed with the following error.  Internal Error 2350.

 

Up until today, I have not had any issues with installations. I was able to recreate the first error with a test machine. The test machine had a mapped but disconnected R: drive. If I boot the machine up without any mapped drives it installed.

 

I guess what I'm really asking is is there a more reliable installer builder available in the newer releases? Am I getting these errors because of my older version of Labview? I have stuck with this version because it works with all of my application and I'm a little tentative to upgrade to a newer version that may introduce other issues (my last upgrade from 7.1 to 8.2 killed a lot of my applications). I really need a reliable installer that takes zero input from the users as they are typically not computer literate.

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

John.

Thanks for your help muks. I will send your suggestions out to my guys in the field. If I upgrade from 8.2.1 to the latest labview release, will either of these issues be addressed?
