Can't import project either as General or as CCS

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

Running  CCS Version: 6.0.1.00040 on two computers with a shared storage. One computer is Windows 7 the other Windows 8.

I created a project on the Windows 8 computer based on TMDSRGBLEDKIT-LED-ColorMix. Now when I try to import the project on the Windows 7 computer using the project wizard I get the following errors:

1. If I try to import it through Code Composer Studio > CCS Projects:

Error: Import failed for project 'TMDSRGBLEDKIT-LED-ColorMix' because its compiler definition is not available. The project does not appear to be a 'CCS Project'. Please try importing it through the 'General > Existing Projects into Workspace' wizard.

2. If I try to import it through General > Existing Projects:

Please use the 'Code Composer Studio > CCS Projects' wizard to import the project 'TMDSRGBLEDKIT-LED-ColorMix'.

Seems like we are stuck in an endless loop.

    Did you create a new project from scratch or did you import the TMDSRGBLEDKIT-LED-ColorMix example from ControlSuite and make changes to it?

    Does the unmodified example from ControlSuite import into this Windows 7 computer without issues? If it also gives the same errors, then it is likely that the CCS installation does not have C2000 support. In CCS, can you go to menu Window->Preferences->Code Composer Studio->Build->Compilers and check if C2000 compiler tools is listed under "Discovered tools"?

    If it is missing, then you can add C2000 support by re-running the CCS installer, choose the same installation directory that you previously used, and select the C2000 processor. This should add C2000 support files to the existing installation.
