John,
I BELIEVE this is possible, I have not done much with the App Builder
and I use UNIX so my knowledge is limited.
I would suggest that you start with the plugin examples provided by NI.
These should use the VI server to get and execute the plugins.
The approach would be something like this.
Have a known location for the plugins (could be sub dir of app dir)
Make the app look at the plugin dir at startu
p.
Name the top level plugins consistantly (like plug1, plug2, etc)
The name of the VI and the window do not have to be the same
so you can update functions and still have the same window name.
I think if you do it this way all you have to do is distribute the plugins
and not a complete app.
Good Luck
