I have updated my Nvidia Drivers and found that the NView Desktop Manager is missing. After some searching it seems that it is not included in the latest driver bundle.
Does anyone know where and how I can install the NView Desktop Manager?

For those running Windows 7 in order to officially have Nview you must be running a Quadro card. Now this can be problematic and annoying for people running GeForce cards.
Nvidia's official response read something like this. (note not exact quote)
We (Nvidia) have made the decision to not include Nview in the installation of Drivers for our GeForce cards. This decision was made because mainly businesses use the Nview package and most businesses don't buy GeForce cards they buy Quadro cards.
Nvidia also stated:
The Nview software package had to be completely rebuilt before it could be released for windows 7 users.
The package should work perfectly fine, it's just that they chose to install it only if you have a Quadro card, or know how to bypass Nvidia's installer package. :D
I found this posted on the net in fairly identical layouts on multiple forums. :) No guarantees that this works but it looks okay to me. Will be testing it myself soon:
Download the latest Drivers from the nVidia website
Download 7-Zip
Open the Driver file with 7-Zip and extract the nView.CAB file (onto your desktop for now)
Open the nView.cab file with 7-Zip and extract all the files into a folder on your desktop
Run the nviewsetup.exe file as normal.
Note: some features are missing from the application, but most of the important features do work.
