NI_Word.lvclass error following LabVIEW deployment

I sent an executable installer to a customer but he got the following response when he tried running it:

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW: File not found. The file might be in a different location or deleted. Use the command prompt or the file explorer to verify that the path is correct.

Complete call chain:
     Get LV Class Default Value.vi
     NI_report.lvclass:New Report.vi
     Print Doc.vi
     Main.vi

LabVIEW attempted to load the class at this path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\YYYYY\XXXXX.exe\1abvi3w\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Word\NI_Word.lvclass

I have no problems on my PC running the program. It seems to an issue with the reporting toolkit. Any ideas how I can resolve it?

4.5 years later and a search reveals my original question!

The answer in my case is to include both NI_Standard Report.lvclass & NI_Word.lvclass.

NI answer the question but don't answer why it hasn't been automated into the process already! Details as follows:

Verify all files and VIs you use to build an application are in the LabVIEW project. Add the following files to the LabVIEW project: labview\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Standard Report\NI_Standard Report.lvclass if the application uses standard reports. labview\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Word\NI_Word.lvclass if the application uses Microsoft Word. labview\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Excel\NI_Excel.lvclass if the application uses Microsoft Excel.

From the Source Files page of the Application Properties or Shared Library Properties dialog box, navigate to and select the class files you added to the project. Click the right arrow button next to the Always Included list to add the class files to the application.

If the application you are building contains the MS Office Report Express VI, you must add any Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel templates that you use to the LabVIEW project and to the application. From the Source Files page, select the template you use and click the right arrow button next to the Always Included list to add the template file to the application.

For example, if you are using the basic Excel template with the MS Office Report Express VI, add MSOffice_RGT_Template.xlt to the LabVIEW project and the application. The basic template files are located in the labview\templates\Report directory.Note The default custom destination for templates is a data subdirectory of the destination directory. Do not change the custom destination for the templates you add. If the application you are building contains the Word Add New Document VI, ensure that the version of Microsoft Office installed on the target computer is compatible with the application. Applications containing the Word Add New Document VI that you build on a computer with Office XP can run only on target computers that also have Office XP. Applications containing the Word Add New Document VI that you build on a computer with Office 2003 or 2007 can run only on target computers with either Office 2003 or Office 2007.

Once both classes are included there are no issues.

The reporting toolkit is for the development side so if the problem were there, I'd expect that you would also experience it. NI has a writeup on what looks to be your issue. Archived: Microsoft Word or Excel Not Launching From EXE Built With Report Generation Toolkit.
