Cannot find/install NI-IMAQ driver

I am trying to use Vision Builder AI for the first time. A couple of the functions like "Acquire Image" and "Read/Write Camera Attributes" are unavailable when I try to click them, and I get a pop-up message saying:

 

"This step required NI-Imaq Driver software to support National Instruments image acquisition devices. The driver could not be located on this computer. Download and install the NI-IMAQ driver from ni.com/support"

 

 

I'm not sure which driver I'm supposed to be downloading. I found and downloaded ni_imaq_usb_installer_86.exe but that didn't seem to do anything.

 

Any ideas?

Looks like the latest is NI-IMAQ 4.5.4.

 

If you have the Developer Suite, the vision stuff should be included in the discs.  I would look at those before downloading anything.

Well I downloaded the NI-IMAQ 4.5.6., and I think it gave me IMAQ function that I can use within labview. But when I go to NI VIsion Builder AI, there are still un-clickable functions.

 

Here's what it looks like:
