Cryptic Debugger Errors

I'm sure there's something I'm doing wrong but being unfamiliar with CCS I can't identify the problem.
I'm trying to create a new project and run it in the debugger but when I try and load the debug utility it gives me the message:
"Load program error.

Encountered a problem loading file: [file_name.out]
Could not open file

at GEL_Load("[file_name.out]")

When I open the file location, it doesn't exist, so the best I can guess is that the program isn't creating the appropriate files.

I've had success loading example programs and modifying/saving them as new ones so this is a bit of a new experience for me. As best as I can tell, I'm not doing anything different from the previous projects I've created. Can someone offer some insight on what I'm doing wrong? Is there a simple and straight-forward way to create a new project that I'm missing (the results I'm currently getting occur when I use the new CCS Project wizard...)?

  • Another error that I'm receiving is the following (different project but same file contents):

    "Debugger Initialization Error

    Cannot read System Setup data from XML file C:\...\workspace_v5_2\Screen_Test\Screen_Test.c
    Error parsing file:
    Fatal Error at (1,1): Invalid document structure."

     The way I interpret this is that the debugger is looking at the wrong file (a .c file instead of a .xml file). but again, I don't know how to fix this...
