Calling LabView 8.2 Runtime Engine From TestStand 3.5

We have been using TestStand 3.5 and LabVIEW 8.2 in developing a system.  We now want to install the system on other PC's but without LabVIEW 8.2.  We install TestStand 3.5 and then the LabVIEW 8.2 Runtime Engine on the PC (using lv82runtime.msi).  But when we run our TestStand sequences that call LabVIEW 8.2 VIs using the option "Always Run VI in LabVIEW Runtime Engine" on the VI steps, we receive an error:
 
"...The VI is not executable.  Most likely the VI is broken or one of its subVIs cannot be located.  Open the VI in LabVIEW using File:Open and verify that it is runnable".
 
If we then install LabVIEW 8.2 it runs fine (just like on our development system).
 
Are we missing some step in installing the LabVIEW 8.2 Runtime Engine?  I've searched the postings and haven't seen any other mention of additional steps, but I could easily be missing something.
 
I am also going to post this question on the LabVIEW forum in case someone watching there has an idea.
 
Thanks in advance.

Barry,

Be sure to include any LLBs or other supporting VIs in your workspace when you create your deployment. If any of these are missing, it can cause your VIs to be broken and will not run correctly.
