Having Problems with Instrument I/O Assistant

Hi

I have just installed the demo from NI of Labview. I am trying to run
Instrument I/O Assistant. Open blank Vi then select GLIB and sure enough
Instrument I/O Assistant dialogue is there. However, when you double click
the box, as the help suggests, it report that Measurement and Automation
Explorer or Instrument I/O Assistant may not be install. Do they come with
the downloadable demo? If so what is happening?
I have included a screen shot of the error.
I have also check that it is correctly install. I took it streight from NI Web

Hello Wayne,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

The evaluation version of LabVIEW, when downloaded from the website,
does not include the hardware drivers for instrument control or data
acquisition. You can obtain the necessary drivers one of three ways:

1) If you already have a Driver CD, install the NI-488.2 (version 2.0
or later) drivers from that CD.

2) You can request a Driver CD by checking the appropriate box when
downloading the LabVIEW evaluation software.

3) You can download the latest version of NI-488.2 using the following
link. This will install Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and
allow you to use the Instrument I/O Assistant.

I hope this helps! If you continue to have problems or have further
questions, let me know.
