CCS: Convert files from CCS to MSP430Flasher

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

How do I create a text or hex file from a CCS eclipse project to be used in MSP430Flasher?

I followed the instructions below for CCS v.5.x. My version of code composer is 5.3.0. So the screenshots were not absolutely identical to what I had, but I was able to go through all the steps. But I could not find the text or hex file under the Debug folder. I thought I found something under the Release folder, but I could not replicate the results across different projects.

Thank you.

    Hello,
    Is there any particular reason you are using CCSv5? It is an older version that is not really supported anymore. The integration with the hex conversion utility is much better in CCSv6 and greater. I would suggest moving to that version if you can.

    Thanks

    CCSv5 is the program used by the engineer creating the software. The operating system is Windows XP. At this time, I do not want to spend time researching why we cannot use CCSv6 when it seems possible to use CCSv5. The hex conversion is only needed one time per program. The end use is for production support so that we reduce the risk of accidentally changing the software and move to a flashing software that does not require as much memory as CCS.

    e2e.ti.com/.../199231 This thread indicates that the text file can be in the Release or Debug file and that there is a bug where a hex or text file will not be generated because of a space in the project name.
