Reverting from CCS 5.4 to CCS 5.3 and getting lost target configuration files

I struggled for about a day to move to CCS 5.4.  When updating projects to ARM 5.0.5 compiler the .cproject files were corrupted by CCS.  Could not fix and lost all confidence in 5.4.  I saw at least one thread addressing this issue.  If 5.4 cannot handle changing compilers, I have little confidence that if I change some other project parameter, the same thing will not happen.

So I remove 5.4, installed 5.3, updated to ARM 5.0.5 compiler and finally updated projects to indicate 5.0.5 in the properties.  My 16 projects now compile.  I have 9 target applications and 7 libraries.

I now have some projects that compile, download into my XDS560v2 emulator and debug.  That is good.

On other projects I am getting the following dialog:

Not sure what happened to the rest of this post.  It actually referenced the content of the dialog, which basically said, "Do you want to create a new target configuration?".
I have classified CCS 5.4 as toxic to our group, and we will not use it.

    I have found the answer myself.  I found a e2e thread that led me to display the View -> Target Configurations.  They were messed up.  So I simply right clicked on the project's .ccxml file and selected either 'Set as [Active|Target] Configuration".  That cleaned up the error.

    I am not sure how changing the compiler version somehow confused the target configuration file, but I am pretty sure it did.
