installer promblem lv8 and field point

I have the professional version of labVIEW 8.  I installed it and couldn't find the fieldpoint vi's. I moved them over from my old labVIEW 7.1. But, it seems that I am missing some menu files that one knowledge base refers to: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/7B21ADB6CD5ADCDF86256A3B0052D2A0?OpenDocument
  1. Copy the FieldPoint folder into your Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7x\vi.lib folder.
  2. Copy the fpConfiguration.mnu, fpOptomux.mnu, fpPublish.mnu, and fpRT.mnu files into your LabVIEW 7x\vi.lib\addons folder.
  3. Copy the ExpresFP.mnu file into your LabVIEW 7x\menus\default\Express folder.

I don't have the fpPublish or the fpRT mnu files, or the ExpresFP.mnu files

 

I have renamed all of my old versions of labVIEW (ie. oldlabview7.1).  I have uninstalled the fieldpoint 4.1 through the windows control panel and downloaded the field point 4.1 zip and reinstalled it.  There seems to be no support files for labVIEW 8.  After doing this, the above files are not anywhere on my computer.  Also, when I go to create an installer, under the additional installers there is no field point choice.

I have tried numerous uninstalls and reinstalls of fieldpoint 4.1 and well as trying both cds of device drivers.  Another thing is that on the knowledge base about creating installers: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/5ADBC06AC32E508A8625706E0062EBD1

The example shows the box checked for fieldpoint "5", is there such a thing?

When I get everything working, a question about the iak file.  I know that it needs to be put on the target computer in the same place the vi will look for it. If it is something like  C:/myapp.iak, is there a way that the installer could put it there so it wouldn't have to be done manually from the app/install cd?

Thanks

Jim

I seemed to have fixed some of the problem with: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B62BA881D8ED1FF48625709E00680BF0
 
However, when creating an installer there still is no fieldpoint checkbox under additional installers
