Dmitry,

I believe they are running Eclipse instead of Ccstudio. To use CCS it is recommended to start the application with Ccstudio. Based on the Welcome screen that is being shown they are running Eclipse. The shortcut that was created on the desktop would be to Ccstudio.

There is a step by step tutorial for using CCS that covers CC3220SF here:

Based on the error message being shown I worry that they may not have installed support for CC32xx when installing CCS.

The box below needs to be checked when installing CCS. If they did not do that they can run the CCS installer again and point it to their existing installation and it will allow them to add support for CC32xx.
