"Add Products Discovered" pointed wrong location

I have two version of the CCS in my windows OS. I need to keep both of them for different product.  The older one is inside TI directory and the newer one is inside TI2 directory.  When I open the older CCS I always see this image down below.

                When I open the newer version, I always see this image down below.

The issue is that, even so I install the newer version at “C:\TI2”, it still looking for update for “C:\TI”. I have the older version which located inside “C:\TI”, when I open it, it only has one update.  I am not sure why it keep looking for new product at “C:\TI” I also could not change the address to “C:\TI2”. 

I went to “Window --> Preferences --> Code Composer Studio --> RTSC --> Products” hope I can make some changes.  The older CCS shows as below

The newer CCS shows as below

I installed older one first, it makes sense to show its product path include “C:/TI”, but the newer version also has product path at “C:/TI”, I want to change it but I could not.   Another interest thing is that both version has software installed at “C:/Program Files (86) /Texas Instruments”, but I went to the “Program Files” directory and I cannot find “Texas Instruments” at all.

My goal is to leave the older CCS as it is, since I installed it first. For the second CCS, I want to somehow remove this “C:/TI”path.

    The c:\ti path is added to the RTSC Product Discovery path by default because several TI software packages use c:\ti as the default install directory and it makes it easier to search that path by default instead of requiring users to manually add that path. So even if CCS is installed to a different directory, it will have c:\ti added as a discovery path.  I'm not sure if there is a way to remove it completely.

    One alternative, if you do not want the Discovered Products list to come up each time you start CCS, is to disable the checkbox "Search for new products each time Code Composer Studio is started", and then manually do the search whenever you desire by using the "Search Now" button.

    Thank you for your response. I am wondering since there is not a way to remove RTSC Product Discovery path, could I put both older CCS and the new CCS both inside "C:/TI" directory without them conflict with each other?

    I need the newer CCS to be updated, but it only updates at the "C:/TI" which is for the older CCS. I got compiling error at newer CCS about the device could not be supported because it's missing the update at this "C:/TI2" directory. Since my goal is keep both version and keep both of them current, is this still possible?

    You can absolutely leave both version of CCS installed as it is. You do not need to move them inside the c:\ti directory.

    When you start up newer CCS (installed in c:\ti2) and it goes through the product discovery, it will display new RTSC products discovered both in c:\ti and c:\ti2. You can choose the ones you want to install. The list of products displayed could be different between the older CCS and newer CCS depending on which ones where "installed" with each version.

    If you are missing some device support, then you probably need a different update. Do you know which package has the device support you are missing? Check if the package is available under Help->Check for Updates or Help->Install New Software. Also see this wiki page for more details about getting updates.

    And yes you can keep both versions of CCS current with updates independent of each other.

    Thank you for the suggesting, I have downloaded the specific device to support my need.
