Problems/Changes with the new LabView continue to cause problems. seem to be able to build an EXE with no problem. If I try to make an installer, the tool comes up with a message:
"Locate the "NI LabVIEW 8.5.1" distribution. LabVIEW needs to copy a component installed or updated by the distribution to continue building the installer."
I have no idea why it needs the disk, but I go ahead and insert the 8.5.1 DVD. The disk is there, I can see it, but the tool says it's an "Invalid location for "NI LabVIEW 8.5.1". Yes, I have the right DVD. So I click the little folder button. It sees the nidist.id file it wants. I click on it and get a message "You cannot choose this folder name; a file of that name already exists."
If I view the build errors under details I see the following:
