You probably have it but just can't see it yet.
It comes as part of the FRCLabVIEWUpdate1.0.zip Update at: http://www.usfirst.org/frccontrolsystem

After you install the update that missing file will automatically appear in the FRC cRIO Imaging Tool file selection window, but it's stored at:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\project\CRIO Tool\FRC Images

There is a toggle on your driver station that you can change between auto (autonomous) and not. Make sure you have it NOT on auto.

The blinking lights on the cRIO module in slot 8 just mean that the DS switch is set to "Auto"
The DS LCD screen should say: "Mode: autonomous"

Is the switch on the DS still set to Teleop?

When you get Mode on the DS back to teleoperated if the Jaguar and Victor lights are still blinking then I'd say it's a problem with the PWM cables connecting those speed controllers to the Digital sidecar.
