Hi Daniel,
I have had a look around and found this KB detailing a similar issue I would try this and see if it fixes the problem.

Build installer error code -12 while copying distribution

Hello all you helpful forum-goers!
I am having problems building an installer for my product now that I have upgraded to LabVIEW 2010 from 8.5.1. My project has an executable build, and then 3 installer builds which put a different value in the registry indicating the permissions level of the executable: Basic, Full, and Ultimate.
When I try to build the Full version, I get the following error:
CDK_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller >> CDK_Build_Invoke.vi >> CDK_Engine_Main.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Build.vi >> IB_MSI.lvclass:Engine_Build.vi >> NI_MDF.lvlib:MDFDistCopyList_CopyItem.vi

Copying distribution 'Williams International - Engine Maintenance Terminal (WI_EMT) Ultimate' from: C:\CP356\WI_EMT Ultimate Installer\ to: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\MDF\ProductCache\
*** Error: Windows SDK function returned an error. (Error code -12)
The system cannot find the path specified.

The weird part is the "from" path doesn't exist, but C:\CP356\ does contain my project's files (including some sub-directories). But even if it did, I have no idea why the Ultimate version is referenced when I am building the Full version. I just tried building the Ultimate installer, and got the same error.
Stranger yet, this error goes away if I stop trying to include NI-VISA Runtime 5.0 in the additional installers section of my installer. The only other "additional installer" I have checked is the LabVIEW 2010 Runtime Engine. The VISA Runtime is required for my product, so I can't just leave it unchecked. Another clue is that the VISA Runtime's Installer Source Location is listed as D:\, my DVD drive. But even when I put the Device Drivers DVD in the drive, I get the same error when building.
I've tried looking in the Device Drivers DVD, but it says that the VISA Runtime 5.0 is already installed on my computer; I forget the exact path it listed, but I can get it again if that would help someone. But I couldn't figure out how to change the source location to tell it to get that installer locally.
Based on the posts I've found in this forum for error code -12, I also created a new Build Specification for the Full installer and set all the same options as the previous one, in case something about it got corrupted when I upgraded, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
I would very much appreciate any insight anyone has on how to fix or get around this issue!
Thanks,
-Joe
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Paul,
Thanks for the reply! I looked at the knowledge base article, and followed it to the .NET 3.5 install page, and from there to the .NET 4.0 install page (figuring the later version the better), downloaded that and selected to "repair" my .NET 4.0 installation. It looked like it did thing for a while (was something broken? ;-)), but no change to my problem afterwards.
The other item in the article was a particular virus protection software, which I do not use. McAfee anti-virus is installed on my system, but it is controlled by our IT department and therefore is harder to change than usual. It has been installed the entire time I have used LabVIEW on my computer with no problems prior to this, but I will contact them to see if they could put LabVIEW on an exception list anyway next.
Since I couldn't do that immediately, I copied the NI-VISA_Runtime folder off of my Device Drivers DVD onto my desktop, used it to uninstall NI-VISA Runtime 5.0, and then reinstalled it. However, this did not fix the problem, or even change the additional installer properties for that item - it still says the source location is D:\.
Do you have any other suggestions for things I can try? I very much appreciate your assistance!
Thanks,
Joe

Hi,
I have converted my previous version package which was build upon 4.6, using sequencer to 5.0 app-v client.
I didn't have any errors & warnings. But, when I tried to install the package , I'm getting the error with error code

Hi there,
It was my mistake and the way we published app connection groups in the past. In the past we published the applications directly through an connection group without publishing the applications themself. In app-v 5.0 sp3 I needed to publish the packages itself

Create additional installer error code -12 file not found from device driver cd

I'm trying to build an installer for a project that includes several NI drivers - specifically NI-DMM. NI-SCOPE, NI-SWITCH, NI-845x, and a few others (MAX, DAQ, etc). When I build the software standalone (and only include the run-time engine), it works fine. However, when I try to build the installer with the additional installers (mentioned above), the build prompts me for device driver cds, and then fails. Specifically, it fails on the February 2006 Device Driver cd. The error is attached below.
I have tried
- repairing all the installations of the software mentioned
- using a new project and re-adding the files
- building the additional installers seperately (no source code installed)
- copying the driver cds to the harddrive and referencing them there when needed
The next step will be to reinstall all of those drivers from scratch, but I really would prefer not to. Does anyone have any ideas (or solutions) regarding this problem?

I have had this happen a lot espescially with LV 8.0 -8.20. What I had to do was take the device drivers CD and copy it to the and run the installation of the software from the copy on the hard disk.
When you build an exe with additional installers it looks at the last place that you installed the drivers from. Anyway it worked for me so it might work for you.

How can I get Illustrator CS6 to update? I get Installation error code U44M1P7

I have a windows 8.1 machine. When I installed Design Standard CS6, I got error messages for Illustrator CS6, Photoshop CS6 regular and Photoshop CS6 64-bit.
I checked for Adobe updates, and after installing all of these, I still get an error for Illustrator.
It tells me "Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.0.3) Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
From some of the other message boards, I have seen the thing to do is re-try the update.
I have done this three times, but Illustrator still has the same problem.
What can e done to troubleshoot? I am directed to contact customer care for this issue.
Thank you.

Upon installation, ERROR CODE: -3..

Hi. Once again I tried to install the latest version of iTunes today, and upon the end of the quicktime installation, i get this error code: -3... i'm sure you guys have dealt with this before, and I've been havin this problem for a very long time. I need iTunes.. i need music. Please if you guys can help, I'd be so thankful. Thank you for your generosity guys.

sorry about the way things worked out in the other thread, JINstyle. let's try having a crack at this on our own this time.
the -3 is indicating that there is a problem with the QT part of the itunes bundle, but doesn't specify the nature of the problem. so we work from the error message information we got from the standalone QT reinstall attempt (which gives us info about the nature of the problem).
is the underlying problem with the QT installation still the "error applying transforms"? if so, we could try the trick from this toonz post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2535461&#2535461
... then doing another QT standalone reinstall:
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
(this is fairly unexplored territory. the "error applying transforms" is a fairly rare error message in the context of an itunes or QT installation.)

Build installer error, help

Hi all,
There's a problem need your help.
I have a LV8.5 PDS. And I create a exe, when I want to create a installer, I cannot found any information is "additional installer". When I try to build it, error reports as below.
error information:
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
Before I reinstall my notebook, it worked.
Thanks ahead.

From the forum
The build specification for your installer may have been corrupted. Try the following to correct this:
Open up your project in the Project Explorer window and expand the Build Specifications tree.
Right-click all of the applications (executables) build specifications that are included in your installer and select Build to force each one to rebuild.
If all the executables build successfully, next right-click your installer's build specification and select Properties to change its configuration.
In the Category pane on the left, navigate to the Source Files category.
Find your executable (.exe) files on the right side and click it to select it. Press the Delete key or click the red X at the bottom of the window to remove the executable and its associated files from the build.
Re-add the executable and its files to the same folder by selecting the executable in the Project View pane and the proper folder in the Destination View pane (on Windows systems, this is typically ProgramFilesFolder\[your product name]), and clicking the blue arrow button in the middle of the window.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for any other executables you have in your installer, as well as for any other files which show up in the ProgramFilesFolder path.
Your installer should now build successfully. If that does not work, try making a new installer build specification which has all of the same settings as the build specification which does not work. If the new installer builds properly, you can keep it and delete the old, corrupted specification.

Adobe Installer error code 205

Hello Adobe community, am currently stuck and need a solution. I've downloading adobe creative cloud set-up but run into a problem when I run the Adobe installer. I get an error message with the following, "We've encountered the following issues: There seems to be a problem with the download files, For troubleshooting tips, please.......(Error code:205)". I used the same download on another PC and it worked just fine. Am currently trying to download it into a Windows 7 Pro PC with 64bit. I tried installing with admin privileges and in safe mode but nothing budges. The adobe cleaner was of no help since there is no OOBE file in existence (never installed before).
Appreciate the help everyone.

Peter

Installation Error code 5

I am trying to install Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 5.0.38 ([size="2" color="#3300ff">CMS5_PCAPP_LB_5_0_38.exe) for a Zen Micro?on a friends computer, having downloaded it from Creative whever I run the program it all extracts but once the install starts I get the "Error code 5002". I have also tried to install from the net with the same error, not surprisingly. I have also tried to install while in safe mode it gets further but then obviously doesn't see the player so then won't let me go further. Any ideas anybody, please?

Yeah I have seen that thread, but the difference here is I am not trying to open files on an existing and functioning version of indesign: I am trying to install a brand new version of indesign CS5 and the rest of the CS5 suite onto my laptop. I am getting error code 5 as an installation error, not a file reading error or file corruption error.
