CCSTUDIO: how to let CCS find an external compiler using CCS command line?

Part Number: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software:

Hi there,

My CCS1040 has problem to find a compiler, ti-cgt-c2000_22.6.1.LTS installed outside of CCS1040 installation folder through command line. The projects are configured to using compiler ti-cgt-c2000_22.6.1.LTS that is installed within CCS1250 installation, but I am requested to compile projects using ccs1040 and the newer compiler. 

First I copy/paste ti-cgt-c2000_22.6.1.LTS into ccs1040 installation folder:  C:\ti\ccs1040\ccs\tools\compiler where an older version of compiler, ti-cgt-c2000_20.2.5.LTS, is located, but it cannot find the compiler.

Then I installed ti-cgt-c2000_22.6.1.LTS separately and added installation folders, C:\ti\compiler\;C:\ti\compiler\ti-cgt-c2000_22.6.1.LTS and  C:\ti\compiler\ti-cgt-c2000_22.6.1.LTS\bin to the PATH variable, it still cannot find the compiler and reports that ERROR: Import failed for project 'xxxxx' because its compiler definition is not available. Please install the C2000 v22.6 compiler before importing this project.

My colleague has no such a problem because he uses ccs Gui that can configure ccs to use an external compiler, but I have to use command line to generate builds automatically, could you help?

Thanks
