LabVIEW 3 hr tutorial. Missing Template

    I'm having a little trouble on the 3hr labView tutorial with the needed template not showing up. After clicking either New or VI from Template links from the getting started page I come to the New form. Only problem is the template  VI»From Template»DAQ»Data Acquisition with NI-DAQmx.vi is not in there.
 
     Also when going into the solution folder included with this tutorial and opening the solution file for the exercise I'm working on. It opens a file browse popup then spams a bunch of errors when trying to double click on the DAQ Assistant.
 
     The tutorial zip files contains: Introduction files(in word, powerpoint, and PDF formats) and a solution folder containing solutions for each   exercise.
 
     LabView exercise instructions are as follows:
 
 
Exercise 2 – Acquiring a Signal with DAQ (Track B)
Note: Before beginning this exercise, copy the Exercises and Solutions Folders to the desktop
of your computer.
Complete the following steps to create a VI that acquires data continuously from your
simulated DAQ device.
1.Launch LabVIEW.
2. In the Getting Started window, click the New or VI from Template link to display the New dialog box.
3. Open a data acquisition template. From the Create New list, select VI»From Template»DAQ»Data Acquisition with NI-DAQmx.vi and click “OK”.
4. Display the block diagram by clicking it or by selecting Window»Show Block Diagram. Read the instructions written there about how to complete the program.
5. Double-click the DAQ Assistant to launch the configuration wizard.

You probably didn't install DAQmx from the driver's CD. Installing LabVIEW alone does not install any of the hardware drivers such as DAQmx, GPIB, etc.

I'm checking on that right now. The program was installed by someone else. I am currently uninstalling then reinstalling the entire thing from step 1 to make sure everything is correct.
