"The Following Files Already Exist in the Destination Directory" Error When Adding Multiple Executable Files to an Installer

Primary Software: LabVIEW Toolkits>>Application Builder
Primary Software Version: 8.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software:

Problem: I am trying to add an additional executable to my installer. This installer already has one executable that uses Analysis VIs, such as "Mean". In the Source Files area of the Application Builder, when I try to add the second executable I get the error The following files already exist in the destination directory due to the lvanlys.dll already being present in the data folder of the destination directory.

Solution: Rather than adding your executables individually in the Source Files view, you should
  1. Control-click on each of the executables
  2. Click the Add button to add them into the desired folder in the destination view (see screenshot below)
