CCSv6.01: Compiler does not exist error when importing project

Hello,

I received a "Compiler v6.4 does not exist" error in CCSv6.01 when trying to import a compiler v6.4 project.  Did CCS previously allow a project to be imported event if  the specified project's compiler wasn't available? Sometimes I am not connected to the internet and it would be nice if CCS would allow me to import the project.

I did get it to work, but with a lot of work since I had to copy a compiler related  information from a v6.2 project to the v6.4 project .  Even after changing the compiler information, I wasn't able to import the project into CCSv6.01.  It still gave me a  "Compiler v6.4 does not exist"  error.  However, it did work when I imported the modified project files into CCSv6.0.  Why?

    Stephen,
    I'm checking into this. I would've expected a warning and not an error when importing the project created with 6.4 compiler. I will keep you updated when I have more information.

    I confirmed that the error message is expected in this case. The reason for this is that CCS dynamically generates the UI for the project’s build-settings based on the compiler version.  When you try to import a project that was created with a compiler version that is newer than what that build of CCS supports (newer in either the X or Y digits where X.Y.Z is version number), then CCS needs you to install that compiler first…otherwise it cannot even parse the project’s .cproject file. 

    Also the message that appears during import says to go to the CCS App Center to install the  compiler before importing this project.  However App Center only gives you updates and not "new" compiler versions so we will look into changing the message to something more appropriate like “Please install this compiler version before importing this project.” rather then mentioning App Center.
