I am using LabVIEW 8.2.1 for programming cFP and the only way to upgrade the VI on cFP is by building EXE and setting the EXE as "startup" before deploying. I am pretty sure that it should be possible on LV 7.1 too. Setting as "startup" and deploying will configure the cFP to run the EXE on power up. This way, you do not have to "Exit without closing RT Engine VIs". Also, cFP power reset will not matter.
I am also looking around for programatically upgrading software of cFP, so that multiple cFPs can be upgraded from a PC on same network.
