"Windows 7"

[flash7ok]

I've just installed NI Developer Suite 2010 on my computer and rebuilt an existing LabWindows project.  When the distribution is installed on a Windows 7 computer, I get a message near the end of the installation that "The specified folder does not contain the correct volume".  When I run the installation again, I can see that it is "NI MAX Configuration Support" that hasn't previously installed. And, the same error occurs.  Further, despite all this, the application seems to work.

However, on a Windows XP computer, the installation completes successfully without any error messages.

Any ideas on what is happening on the Windows 7 installation?  I've attached a screen capture of the error along with the Drivers & Components settings.

Thanks.

That dialog isn't an error message, but instead just a prompt to insert the next disk in the set. What it looks like is that your CVI-built installer was configured to span multiple volumes/disks. Also, be aware that the components/drivers being installed have conditions, such as which OS or OS bitness. So putting this all together, on Windows XP, it's likely that you happen to not need anything from volume 2, but on Windows 7 you do.

Your options for solving this are either configuring the installer builder to only generate one volume, or to be sure to make both volumes (or however many have been created) are available when you run the installer.

Wes,

Thanks for your reply.  You are very correct in your response.  I had run a script file to automatically copy the distribution along with some other files to our network.  Then ran the install from there.  However, I see now that I hadn't previously noticed that, in fact, there was a Volume2 that wasn't copied by the script file.  I'll examine my options from here.

Thanks again.
