When building an exe I get 'Error 1051' due to not copying Labview...\IMAQ GetPalette

Question

I am trying to build using Labview 8.5 rather than 8.6 for compatibility reasons.  However, since installing 8.6 and porting my code over to that as well I am finding that now I reset up a build script for 8.5 it no longer functions.  The build fails with :
Error copying files.
Source: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\vi.lib\Vision\Display.llb\IMAQ GetPalette
Destination: C:\Work folder\Programs\builds\Acoustic\SamWare Application_8-5\internal.llb\IMAQ GetPalette
Invoke Node in AB_Source_VI.lvclass:Copy_SourceItem.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Copy_Files.vi->AB_Application.lvclass:Copy_Files.vi->AB_Build.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_EXE.lvclass:Build.vi->AB_Engine_Build.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi->AB_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
<APPEND>
Method Name: <b>Set Path</b>
The file exists but gives the same error if I include 'IMAQ GetPalette' in the build explicitly having copied it to the application directory.
Any suggestions?

Hello blown_leaf,
I have been looking at the error message you have been receiving, and would like to help you.  If I understand your post correctly, you have been able to prepare a Build task in Project Explorer in LabVIEW 8.6 and execute it without any problems.  However, you now require a program compatible with LabVIEW 8.5, so you are building the same Build task in LabVIEW 8.5. Is this correct?
If this is the case, have you individually saved each VI for version 8.5?  I also see that you are using IMAQ as part of your VI.  Does your VI have multiple instances of IMAQ GetPalette within it?
