Message

The following files in the patch deployment are configured to install in a directory higher than the installation directory of the full deployment installer:

Why does this error occur?

A full deployment installer installs all the files in a specified installation directory, for example, C:\Program Files\My System . Patch installers cannot install files at a higher level than this directory because doing so might break other applications installed on the computer. To avoid this behavior, the deployment utility prevents you from creating a patch deployment installer that installs files at a higher level than the current installation directory for the full deployment.

How do I resolve this error?

Use the following suggestions to resolve the issue.

• Create a full deployment instead of a patch deployment.
• If creating a full deployment is not possible, use the Distributed Files tab to move the destinations of all the specified files to a directory other than the installation directory.

If the issue persists, contact National Instruments for support. Save a technical support record to send to National Instruments by selecting Save Technical Support Report from the Save Log button pull-down menu.
