Distribution not found

Question

I am having some trouble creating an installer for a program.  I need it to include NI-DAQmx drivers, and selected them as shown in Fig. 1.  Of course, this module has other dependencies, which can be also be seen in Fig. 1.  When I try to build, everything appears normal until a dialog pops up informing me that a distribution is needed (Figure 2).  If I click "Yes," I have the opportunity to locate the component myself (Figure 3).  I think it should be in the Device Drivers Disk, specifically in the folder marked disk 3.  However, the computer disagrees, and cannot find the component, even if I provide the Device Driver DVD.  Out of curiosity, I tried searching the DVD, and cannot find any file or folder named "Variable Engine" or "Base Package".  So I am forced to cancel the build.
The resulting log file is simply:
Adding files to installer
Done adding files
Preparing to build deployment
Copying products from distributions
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

When it askes you to locate the distribution have you tried putting in your installer DVD's for LabWindows/CVI?
