If you are trying to image your cRIO and have seen an error similar to:
Unable to complete operation because of unexpected error:
Error -2147220304 occurred at nisyscfg.lvlib:Restart.vi:1
Possible reason(s):
NI System Configuration: (Hex 0x800404B0) Timeout while waiting for reboot. System is offline.

there is an updated FRC 2012 cRIO Imaging Tool that fixes this problem. The updated version is attached. To use it, download and copy it to:
\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\project\CRIO Tool
This updated imaging tool is also included in a new FRC Utilities Update located here:

The difference is this installer will replace the imaging tool for you. And it also includes a newer version of the Setup Axis Camera tool, which fixes a bug where the Axis 206 camera loses communication after a power cycle.
