Evaluation of DAQ Assistant for VS2005

I am really confused about the DAQ Assistant.

I have purchased a USB-6008 DAQ, and intend to use c# .net to write my application.

Looking at the Measurement Studio, the professional and Enteprise editions come with the DAQ assistant, so I downloaded the evaluation version to try it out. Other posts I have read indicate that it actually comes with the driver CD, which I assume is the one shipped with my DAQ device.

However trying to use the assistant in a project, I can't actually find it. According to the instructions, I should be able to add a new item to the project, and the DAQ assistant is in the templates. However, I only get Instrument Driver in my list of Measurement Studio templates.

I am putting together a system with several DAQ modules, and don't really need the visual components offered in the measurement studio, but I do want the DAQ assistant to reduce the overhead in setting up the project.

My questions:

1. Does it come with the driver disc NI DAQmx 8.6? I have found the SignalExpress version

2. Do I have to buy MS Professional version to get it?

3. Can I use it with the MS Evaluation version

4. If so, how do I add the template to VS2005

TIA

Edit: Sorry I now see this is in  the VB6 forum
