x86 installer

[longbow]

Hi all I receive this when trying to build an installer containing the labview runtime (or any other built-in installer). I have Win 7 64 bit, LV 2009 SP1 (copied dvd's to hdd, and installed from there). I create a project with a blank VI, build an exe, then build an installer with the LV runtime, and I get this: I've tried clearing the cache files, uninstall all of NI, reinstall all of NI - just cannot figure it out. I definitely have .Net framework 2, so I just don't know. Can anyone help, or point me in a new direction to look?

The issue is with the Application Builder looking for certain installer package dependencies. It's possible that the cached information on those external installers is either incorrect or corrupt.

You can test this by backing up and deleting the cache folders from the directory that it's looking in (Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\MDF\Manifests\). If the cache is no longer there, it should request the source installation media, and we can give it that instead. We may also be able to determine if the installation media is potentially at fault.

I believe there is a similar issue here that might be of some help.

Let me know if that helps!

Hi Caleb Found a solution that works. Removing the directory (renaming it to _Deleted) did not work, however it inspired me to read to content of the xml file. I found the name of the actual installer (DotNet20x86langpack.msi) which I located and ran. It asked me to modify / repair or remove - I selected repair and it seems to work now. btw : Uninstalling ALL of NI products, and deleting their directories did not solve the problem, including clearing caches etc. from the links. Thanks Warren
