Trying to rebuild a project that has not been changed for a couple years, last built with older verision of labwindows. The build completes fine with version 20.0.0 labwindows. But when I try to run the installer I get "the system cannot find the specified file"
It does not show what the missing file is.
I can install older builds with no issue, so I do not think it is the computer or antivirus...

Have you rebuilt the installer in cvi 2020 as well?

Yes, rebuilt installer.
So this will only not install on a specific windows 10 computer. Other windows 10 computers the installer works.
I have attached a log file from the install, but I can't determine what the issue is, may be you can see it.

As far as I can understand, the error is listed towards the end of the log file:
Error: Failed to access database: D:\Labwindows\O2ALERT\Rev 2.04\cvidistkit.o2alert\Volume\bin\dp\O2ALERT.msi
Looking at distribution kits I create for our products, it seems the installer cannot find the basic .msi file for your product: check the distribution folder and see if the file is present.
Are you trying to install from a local isk, a remote unit or a removable unit?

Yes, file was there. Not sure why it cant find it. Even tried running setup as admin... no difference.
So, I copied the Volume folder (that has the entire install) to my desktop. then ran the setup file from the desktop and it worked. Not sure why it worked, I assume something in the directory structure. Other computers on my network access the build folder as is, and it works fine? At least it worked now!
Thanks!
