Can't find SIM file after installing 8.2.1

I just installed LV 8.2.1 including the real-time module on a Win-XP pro system.  When connecting to the RT target (cFP-2110) it searches for and cannot find several "SIM" files.  For example, it cannot find SIM Diagram Parameters.ctl and many others.  It attempts to find them in the vilib>:\Simulation\Utility\Implementation\Shared\ folder.  The closest file path that I have is LabVIEW 8.2\vi.lib\simulation\Implementation\Shared folder.  There are several "SIM" files in this folder but not what the system is looking for.
 
The system eventually connects to the target and it seems to work.  However, it's a cumbersome effort to connect.
 
Please advise.
 
Thanks,
 
Dave J.

If you had an upgrade from LV 8.2 to LV 8.2.1, you could have the problem described by this page, and the fix is pretty easy:

If you have Simulation Module in your VIs, you also want to upgrade to Simulation 8.2.1. Here is the site if you have Simulation 8.2:

Hope this helps!

I should have spent a little time searching the Knowledge Base.  The referenced fix was very easy to perform and it resolved the problem.

Thanks,
