Create Installer Fail, but Application success. HELP, URGENT!

[MaGH]

Hi all,

I met a strange problem. My labview 8.5 PDS failed to create Installer, yet the application can be built and run. When I want to  create the installer, no information in the "Additional Installer", and no *.bld files created. When I want to build it, some error information reported as below:

"CDK_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> CDK_Engine_PreBuild.vi >> CDK_Validate_DistParts.vi >> CDK_DistParts_GetInstalledProducts.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFProdInfoList_Open.vi" . 

When I tried to create a simple vi show a random number, the application can run, the installer can not be built. The error information changed: "CDK_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> CDK_Engine_PreBuild.vi >> CDK_Validate_DistParts.vi >> CDK_DistParts_GetInstalledProducts.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFCommon_Open.vi".

Additional Information: Before I re-install my windows xp, the Labview Application Builder worked.

And I've tried the conversations "http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=316712&requireLogin=False" , "http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=250&thread.id=29940&view=by_date_ascending&page=2"  and "http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=244845&query.id=526126#M244845". But I'm not such lucky.

I've even tried to re-install LabView including deleting LabView related registry key value.

Thanks.

AFAIK, LabVIEW 8.5 does not use .bld files. Did you make your project by converting an old *.bld file?

Sorry. 

I create my project from the scratch on LabView 8.5. And the installer creating fails.

Always the blank content in Additional Installer Tab page. And alway some error information reported as above.

Thanks.

MaGH, I've having a very similar issue with LV2009.

The build was unseccessful.

Possible reasons

CDK_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> CDK_Engine_PreBuild.vi >> CDK_Validate_DistParts.vi >> CDK_DistParts_GetInstalledProducts.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFCommon_Open.vi

Of course reinstalling, mass compiling, deleting and recreating didn't help.

I've attached a sample code here:

Have you been able to solve this problem?

I don't really know how I can distribute my products....

thanks

I am having the same issue with LV 8.6 & WinXP (everything updated like .NET, etc.). Any luck finding what's going on?
