gpib dll is missing

I am trying to use DASYLab 11 to read a HP3457A. I am using a GPIB-USB-HS interface, windows 7 and a 64 bit laptop. I can communicate with the instrument using NiDAQmx communicator but when I try to run a simple program with just the IEEE-488 input or output module in DASYLab I get a "The National Windows DLL, GPIB.DLL, is missing" error. Beyond that, I am not sure how to set up the module and it would be helpful if I could see some examples but I couldn't find any. I have tried installing 2017 device drivers and DASYLab, I checked ni for IEEE devices. is this a registry issue? is there a download that I need. thanks

It's an error in the program's search path. 

 

Look in your Windows folders for the NI GPIB dll -- copy it to the DASYLab program folder.

 

The file should be NIGPIB32.dll 

 

That should solve the path problem.

I'm glad that worked. 

 

Attached are some examples. I don't have a specific one for your device.
