MSP-EXP430FR5739: MSP-EXP430FR5739 error uploading sketch

Part Number: MSP-EXP430FR5739
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ENERGIA, , MSP430FR5739

Hi,

I just bought a MSP-EXP430FR5739 experimenter board. The idea is to program it using the Energia GUI, which is what I've been using at the university.  So I installed the drivers for Winx64-bit (Windows 10) and downloaded Energia 1.8.7E20.  I wanted to do a quick test to make sure that I could communicate with the board, so I tried uploading one of the basic examples, Blink.ino.  From the tools menu, I selected the board type and the COM port that was assigned by my laptop, COM4.  But when I clicked the upload button I received this message:

Sketch uses 972 bytes (6%) of program storage space. Maximum is 15743 bytes.
Global variables use 20 bytes (1%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1004 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 1024 bytes.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

As far as I can see, the software (Energia) is detecting the MSP board on COM4 and there is communication with it (the board reported some firmware and hardware data back to Energia), but apparently the file 'Blink.ino.hex' could not be found or read by Energia to load it up on to the board.  I checked the path to this file and it is correct, the file is there and I could open it and see Hex data inside (as you would expect).

Any ideas of what could be happening?

Cheers.
