NI Report Toolkit VI's changed or missing in 8.5 compared to 8.2 and earlier

I am trying to open an application I built in 8.2 in 8.5.  At this point I have managed to get all the toolkits installed to the right directories I think, but the NI Report Toolkit is very different with the 8.5 installation than it was in the earlier versions I have used.  I cannot load any of the report generation vi's I wrote in 8.2, because the new NIReport.llb does not contain many of the old vi's that my code is calling.

So far I have found these inconsistencies:

Append Image to Report (path).vi theoretically has been changed to just Append Image to Report.vi.  I re-targeted to this vi but I haven't been able to fully load yet so I don't know if this is going to break wires.

RGT Does File Exists.vi is part of the older NIReport.llb but no longer exists in the new NIReport.llb. 

The new NIReport.llb is much smaller than the old NIReport.llb, 2.3MB compared to 2.8MB.  So a lot has apparently been removed.

What should I do to open all my old code with the new toolkit?  Or should I just throw out the new toolkit and continue to use the old one?

Nevermond.  honestly I don't know why but somehow on every computer NIreport.llb is different.  I don't know what is going on.  I think since I have to mass compile every time I want to build an exe it is re-saving every called file in NIReport.llb.  I think it saved  additional instances of polymorphic vi's in there by name, and I don't know where that RGB vi came from.  This is one reason why mass compiling every time I do a build is not a good workaround.
