error code -12 when building the installer

[Zhengxin]

When I am biulding my project, there was a build error showing as following. I did not change the program and  I was able to build the installer by using the same project file a month ago.

Hello Zhengxin,

Have you taken a look at this KnowledgeBase?  Let us know if this is related to your issue.

Hi Burt,

Thanks for your reply. I do run the LabVIEW8.6 in Vista 64bit. I read the KnowledgeBase you gave and still can not solve the problem. I can not navigate to the specified value in the register. I can successfully build the exe file but when come to the installer, the error code occurs. The attachedments show what I saw when I am trying to modify the register. any idea? Thanks

Hmm, that is interesting.  Does the error occur no matter what you include with your installer, or is it only certain inclusions that are causing the problem?

Hi, I had exactly the same problem and I solved it this way:

I've installed an Antivirus program "Kasperski Internet Security" and this tool blocks my installer creation!!!!!

When I disable the Antivirus program or define an exception for the labview.exe program, then it works!!!!!

Hope that helps

cheers

Thank you Hans - I spent two days drilling through the other -12 error posts before I ran across yours.  Kaspersky was the culprit.

You're welcome 🙂
