CCS/TMS320C6748: Setting up indexer issue when importing project

Part Number: TMS320C6748

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Our group has a TMS320C6748 DSP project in CCS 8.3.1.0004.  The project is stored in source control (perforce).  Many developers use CCS to edit and compile the project, but we just had a new developer come on the program and when he attempts to import the project into a new CCS install he gets the following error:

"Setting up indexer" has encountered a problem.  An internal error occured during "Setting up indexer".

On subsequent import attempts the project briefly shows up in the project explorer for a second or so and then silently disappears from project explorer as if it was never imported.

I have had him delete his workspace and try again, and finally uninstalling code composer studio, removing all software from his hard drive; and then reinstalling and reimporting but the issue remains.  I have also  imported the project myself on several computers successfully, so it has something to do with his CCS installation (even though he installed with the same exact procedure as the rest of us).

How can I figure out what the issue is?  I know it's not in the project itself since it works for everyone else, but the error message doesn't really give me any clues.  Are there any log files or configurations I can check on his PC?

    Hmm... there must have been some error on import. Can you provide the eclipse error log? It should be under <WORKSPACE FOLDER>\.metadata\.log

    Thanks

  • Log file attached, thanks.

  • Thanks. I see this error:

    "attempt to set description for a project which does not exist or not open"

    Would it be possible to share the project metadata files? Those would be the three .*project files in the project folder. 

    If you do not wish to post on this forum, please start a private E2E conversation with me.

    Thanks

  • Pointing us to the log file helped us figure out what was going on.  I had given him an outdated set of instructions that didn't include some of the starterware packages or the correct compiler version before he attempted to import.  I will mark this question as solved.  Thank you for the assistance.
