6i Upgrade & NIreports

I recently installed 6i (using the default installation) and the NIreport
tool menu is not there.
I see the llb in vi.llb/utility/ but I don't see the redistribution package
on the CD.
Has this changed in 6i, do I need to upgrade again ? Or can I use the
NIReports on the 5.1 CD.

Also, the picture tools that appeared with one of the updates in 5.1 is
also no longer there.

Any Ideas ???

Many Thanks,

Martin

In Response to my own question:

1) NI reports are now part of the RunTime Engine, ( this note is found in
the Appbuilder Booklet !)

2) Picture Vi's (picture.llb, bmp.llb ,pixmap.llb) are installed during
AppBuilder installation. (an undocumented goodie? )

The NI Report mnu file is not loaded( at least on my system), but you
can open the m1.cab file in the LABVIEW/Installer directory on the CD and
extract the nireport.mnu and nirepadv.mnu to the menus directory to recover
the menus.
This is a standard Windows cab file.

The ActiveX component of NI reports are part of the Run-Time engine not the
VIs. I have several computers with LabVIEW 6 and no App Builder but they
have all have the menus and VIs for both Report Generation and Picture functions.

Not in my case, And NIreports is broken to boot. Font style.vi is broken,
an activeX property is not seen.
And The RTE is loaded and all.
