I am evaluating CCS (Version: 5.2.0.00069 ), and I have a major problem. When I try to create a new CCS Project (for MSP430), it goes through the dialog box to specify the particulars of the project, and then CCS crashes with a white screen. The target directory of the project is created on the hard drive, and the basic files and settings are created, but CCS won't run. I can restart CCS, but the new project isn't in the workspace. I've created a couple of projects previously, and have gotten test programs to run properly on hardware using the MSP-FET430-UIF. The computer is running Windows XP, SP3. I have installed the SlickEdit Eclipse plugin as an editor into CCS, but otherwise it is setup as installed.
Why is CCS crashing creating a new workspace? I'm VERY disappointed/annoyed with CCS, but if I can get it to work properly, I'll try it again before I use a competitor's product.
