Issue #1: You may receive Error -1 or -10 when attempting to build an installer that includes NI software

Please see KnowledgeBase Article 5D9CSV91: Why do I Receive Error -1 or Error -10 when Building an Installer using the TestStand Deployment Utility? 

Issue #2: You may receive Warnings about missing product dependencies when including Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) or NI 488.2 in your installer

If products such as MAX or NI 488.2 incorrectly specify a dependency on NI Update Service or NI Registration Wizard, the TestStand Deployment Utility will return warnings when attempting to build when these products are included in the installer.

The warning will appear in this form:

Product 'Name of NI Product will appear here' depends on a product that cannot be found on the system. ID of missing product: {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}

These warnings do not negatively affect your installer and can be ignored if the missing product ID matches one of the following:

{A1DD654C-E897-4C46-8077-12873C75D79D}

{11D580A9-CAA9-4FAE-ACCE-008751A7AE9F}

Issue #3: You may receive errors about missing EULAs and licenses when attempting to build an installer that includes NI software
