[NIMesaDLL.msm] creating invalid entry in Directory table using InstallShield 2010

I'm having an issue deploying [NIMesaDLL.msm] using InstallShield 2010.  The dependencies (listed at the bottom of this post) are added and included when the release is built, but an invalid entry is made in the Directory table whenever the [NIMesaDLL.msm] is consumed.

 

Here's the invalid entry:

Directory - Mesa.6FE8CEDD_964F_47A2_8F23_5A607953B235

Directory_Parent - NISHAREDDIR

DefaultDir - Mesa

 

The entry for [Mesa.6FE8CEDD_964F_47A2_8F23_5A607953B235] is invalid because the Directory_Parent entry [NISHAREDDIR] is not fleshed out. I'm including [niMetaUtils.msm], but InstallShield doesn't seem to be adding the missing entries I'm assuming it's supposed to supply.

 

When I build my release w/ just the [niMetaUtils.msm] I receive the following validation errors:

Table: ModuleSignature Column: ModuleID Missing specifications in _Validation Table (or Old Database) ModuleSignature
Table: ModuleSignature Column: Language Missing specifications in _Validation Table (or Old Database) ModuleSignature
Table: ModuleSignature Column: Version Missing specifications in _Validation Table (or Old Database) ModuleSignature

 

I would appreciate any help that would help me resolve this issue. 

 

Thanks in advance,

JLanda
