Cannot See the 'Providers' Folder under Linked Servers

I'm trying to connect to a linked server and I keep getting this error:

"Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "PIOLEDB" for linked server "<server name>". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7302)

Under 'Linked Servers' shouldn't I have the 'Providers' folder? I don't have this ... so how do I get it because it should have the OLEDB provider so that I can connect to my linked server. I'm running SQL 2012 R2 64-bit. I've installed all the PI drivers on my own machine and I can connect independently to the PI server. I have other people who are not 'sa' who can see the 'Providers' folder and they have absolutely no PI software installed on their desktop machines.

Thanks in advance!
