CCS Version: 6.1.2.00015 CDT Build Error URI has an authority component

Yes I am using CCS Version: 6.1.2.00015 on Windows 8.1 Pro which is on a virtual machine on my work laptop and is a MacBook Air. I am working with the Piccolo F2803x controlCARD specifically the TMDSCNCD28035 R1.2 interfaced with the TI Docking Station USB Emulator. I am trying to load the premade code to flash the on-board LED. I have looked everywhere on these forums, wiki page, google, and even called the support phone number, to which they literally said they couldn't help with this software.

I imported the code from the ControlSuite software that came with the kit (newest version that I know of) and when I build it, I get an error that states:

Errors occurred during the build.

Errors running builder 'CDT Builder' on project 'FlashingLeds-F28035'.

URI has an authority component

I also checked the log and it is as follows:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.resources 4 75 2016-03-30 15:28:03.215

!MESSAGE Errors occurred during the build.

!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core 4 75 2016-03-30 15:28:03.215

!MESSAGE Errors running builder 'CDT Builder' on project 'FlashingLeds-F28035'.

!STACK 0 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component at java.io.File.<init>(Unknown Source)
