Error code: 7 during TS deployment build

Question

Hi all,
I ran into this the following error code while trying to build a deployment image:
Error Code:7
Could not process LabVIEW VIs. Fix
any broken VIs before rebuilding. LabVIEW error:
Invoke Node in ABAPI Save
Libraries New Dest.vi->ABAPI Dist Build LLB Image.vi->ABAPI Copy Files and
Apply Settings.vi->TestStand - Build VI Distribution 8 AX
Wrapper.vi->TestStand - Build VI Distribution 8 AX
Wrapper.vi.ProxyCaller
I checked out the "ABAPI Save
Libraries New Dest.vi" to debug the problem, but the run arrow is not broken, indicating that VI is runnable.  Also, I don't have access to see the block diagram for that VI anyway (I'm prompted for a password when trying to access it) which makes sense because it's an NI VI.  Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-John

Ray,
    Compiling the TestStand directory does not appear to be a proper cure for the problem.  I found myself recompiling the TS directory every time I rebuilt the deployment installation or I would continue to get the error even without any changes to any VIs or sequences (mine or NIs).  I started a new build from scratch, and from this build I get the same error, but now mass compiling does nothing!
    I started playing around with the distributed files to see if i could track down a sequence or VI that could be causing the problem and found something odd:
1) Imagine I have sequence Test.seq calling A.vi, B.vi, C.vi, D.vi, E.vi
2) Let's say I run into that error when I include all of those VIs
3) When I remove say, B.vi and C.vi, the error dissappears
4) When I look into B.vi & C.vi I noticed that the VIs have a subVI that calls "Invoke Node" which takes a reference from the Sequence Context.
5) Here's the catch: When I make a new build with a sequence calling B.vi & C.vi, I get no error!
Any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
Thanks for your time!
