Think of the VIs you edit as the equivalent of eggs and flour and sugar, and the .exe file on the cRIO as a baked cake. If you don't have the ingredients, you can't really use one cake as the raw material to make another one.

Alan, please correct me if I am wrong but would it be possible to pull that executable off and compare it to an executable produced by code they do have?(I am assuming they are trying to find which version of code they last used and have all their code) Similar to when you compare the checksums of files to make sure they downloaded properly?
