Creating a silent installer using CVIRTE.msi fails to install CVIRTE.dll, MESA.dll etc.

I’m creating a silent installer for my LabWINDOWS CVI apps and I’m installing LabVIEW RTE 8.2.1 (for DataSockets) and CVI RTE 8.0.1.

 

If I use the self extracting *.zip files and manually install the above RTE’s everything is fine with no problems.  However I want to create an installer exe and install the RTE’s silently.  My problem is that when I execute the CVIRTE.msi (either silently or manually) the respective CVIRTE.dll, MESA.dll etc are not installed.

 

I’m expecting the CVI *.dll’s to be in the system dir – is this output path correct for the msi file?

I’ve also searched the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\... for the dll’s to no avail?

I’m I missing some other CVI msi file to execute in order to install the respecting dll’s?

 

Notes:

I’m executing the msi file on a XP pro SP2 machine with Administrative rights.

I haven’t got around to installing and testing the lv82runtime.msi yet (LabVIEW RTE 8.2.1), which I need for DataSockets.  Can you pre-empt any issues, like the above, I may have regarding any respective dll’s etc for DataSockets?
