What is the procedure for removing Code Composer 5 and re-installing Code Composer 4?

    Just install v4 in a different directory.  Before you uninstall or delete v5 you will need to downgrade the firmware on your MSP430 FET.  There is a menu item on the Windows Start menu for that.  Look under Texas Instruments -> MSP-FET430UIF Debug Interface

    At Start -> Programs -> Texas Instruments -> MSP-FET430UIF Debug Interface  ... is ... MSP-FET430USF v3 to v2 Downgrade.  This is the only choice ... and doesn't seem right as I am downgrading from v5 to v4.

    That is the correct one.  The version it is referring to is the version of the firmware.  it does not match with the CCS version as it is used by various different products.

    Did as recommended. I appeared to work fine.

    When I run Code Composer 4, and try to set the workspace, I get the message, "This workspace c:\... etc ... was not created by this version of Code Composer ...." 

    Actually, that workspace was created by Code Composer 4.  Apparently, Code Composer 5 modified something. 

    I renamed the old subdir and created a new one with the old subdir name.  It works fine now ... except, it can't load the debug code.  I tried unplugging and reconnecting the FET ... none of the LED's illuminate.

    The first time I ran the debug, I had it do an update to the FET.  I tried it again.  Now after rebooting the FET it is working fine.

    It would be good to clarify the problem with the workspace.

    Clyde,

    If you loaded that workspace in CCSv5 then it is not going to work in CCSv4.  Workspaces contain lots of information that is specific to a version of CCS.  If you are going back to v4 you will need to create a new workspace and import your projects into it.  Note if you were trying to use a v4 workspace with v5 that could have been why you and I were seeing different behavior in v5 as your workspace would have imported some settings from v4 that have changed signficantly in v5.
