Why am I getting "Required contraints (.ucf) file not found." when I try to run an example on my NI PCI 5640R?

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-RIO
Primary Software Version: 2.4
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I am trying to develop a project with my NI PCI 5640R, but I keep getting the following error:

An internal software error in LabVIEW FPGA Module has occurred.  Please contact National Instruments technical support at ni.com/support with following information:

Required contraints (.ucf) file not found.

FPGA Source Files Directory Path:  \National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.x\Targets\NI\FPGA\PCI-5640R\FPGAFiles

Why am I getting this error and how do I fix it?

Solution:
This is because when one installs the NI-5640R device drivers, the default installation option leaves out FPGA Module Support.  In order to have the ucf files, you will need to have this option turned on.  The following figure shows the particular setting to turn on. To install this option after installing NI-5640R, run setup.exe » LabVIEW 8.x support » Install this feature to a local hard drive.
