It (the cRIO imaging tool) is installed from the KOP LabView DVD. Even if you plan to program in Java or C++ you need to install some software from the LabView DVD. Please see page 5 of:

Here's an informative paragraph from page 4 of that same document:

Requirements for the C/C++ Programming Environment
Installation of the “Wind River Package” from the FRC DVD requires 2.4 GB total disk space. Note that even the C/C++ programming environment will require installation of many portions of the NI software to support the cRIO. On a Windows XP platform the Wind River software takes an average of ½ hour to install. The FRC installation must be installed in the directory ”c:\WindRiver”. A different version of Workbench on your PC can remain installed, but it must be in a different directory.

The LabView installation puts a link to "FRC cRIO Imaging Tool" on the computer's Desktop. It's also at Windows => Start => All Programs => National Instruments => LabView v.v => FRC cRIO Imaging Tool.

It's physically at:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\project\CRIO Tool\FRC CRIO Imaging Tool.exe

on my Windows XP laptop but I'm not at all certain it will end up here on different versions of Windows.

I doubt that you're going to find a download of it, you'll need the DVDs.
