Agilent 86100A drivers for LV2009

I am having some trouble getting LV2009 to control my Agilent 86100A scope.  I found drivers at:

I connected the scope with GPIB and am able to see it in MAX.  I installed the driver above and found a .llb file (that I had converted from LV5.x to LV8.x so that I could open them).  When I try to open the .llb file it brings up an LLB Manager.  Then when I select a vi it searches for a ag86100a.dll file and does not find it.  It then gives a warning (see attachment).  Some of the vi's seem to work, but it feels like something is wrong.  How can I get rid of the warnings and how can I get the vi's to show up under the instrument driver functions?

I don't think that's a big problem: it looks like the calling VI expects to find the DLL on windows/system folder, but it finds it on the same folder as itself, so it gives a warning. If you don't want to see the warning, just try to copy the DLL onwindows/system folder.

Yep, this just looks like a dependency warning, indicating that the DLL is in a different location than the calling VI expects (as xdaf said). This shouldn't cause any issues.

And if you want to have the VIs show up on your palette, install the LabVIEW driver in the instr.lib folder.
