Broken wires in IMAQ1394 examples after upgrade from v1.5 to v2.0

We have Labview v7.1 Full Development System and IMAQ Vision v7.1. They worked fine with SONY XCD-X700 firewire camera under IMAQ-1394 driver version 1.5. Recently we bought Basler A102f camera and had to upgrade to IMAQ-1394 v2.0 because somehow old driver (and MAX) did not see new camera.
 
After upgrade the A102f camera works OK in MAX v3.1.1, though it shows only 3 possible acquisition modes:
1280x960-Mono8-15fps, 1280x960-Mono16-7.5fps and Format 7. The other standard modes like 800x600 or 640x480 do not show up.
 
Problems start when I try to run NI supplied examples from "IMAQ1394 examples.llb":
1. All examples that call Property Node contain broken wire as shown in attached Fig
2. "Not a Number/Path/Refnum" comparison primitive always generates TRUE even when provided
   with valid IMAQ1394 session RefNumber from "IMAQ1394 Init.vi". That's why "Grab and Reconfigure.vi"
   example does not work properly.
Other examples that do not call Property Nodes (like "Grab.vi") seem to work fine.
 
Has anybody experienced similar problems? Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Problem disappered when I downloaded NI-IMAQ1394 v2.0.1 driver from the NI web site and reinstalled it.
It very well may be that the CD that I recieved by mail from NI contains corrupted driver file.
I also notes that web-version VIs have different icons than the same ones installed from CD.

The icons in the attached screenshot are the Version 1.5.x VIs. I am not sure why Version 2.x VIs were not properly installed. I am glad that things are working now.
