Compiler: Can't import project due to missing MSP432 compiler

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hello, I'm trying to import a project from a coworker and am running into this error message:

Import failed for project 'pm-tag-v2' because its compiler definition is not available. Please install the MSP432v20.2 compiler before importing this project:
- See 'Help > Install New Software' and select 'Code Generation Tools Updates' to check if this compiler is available through a CCS update.
- Visit CCS App Center to get the latest compiler support.
- Or download and install the compiler [http://software-dl.ti.com/codegen/non-esd/downloads], then register it with CCS through 'Preferences > CCS > Build > Compilers'.

I have tried all 3 of these options and nowhere do I see any compiler with the MSP432 name attached.  I see a lot of stuff about MSP430 compilers but not 432.  I re-ran the CCS installer to confirm I have support for "SimpleLink MSP432 low-power + performance MCUs" installed.  I am running CCS 9.3.  Is there a download link or a way to find this compiler that I'm missing?

Thank you

    The MSP432 has ARM Cortex-M4F CPU core on it.  So it uses an ARM compiler.  In this case, install ARM Compiler tools version 20.2.x.

    This diagnostic ...

    ... is confusing.  I'd like to reproduce the behavior and submit a bug report to get it fixed.  You say you imported this project from a co-worker.  Where did they get it from?  

    Thanks and regards,

    They created the project as an upgrade from the Version 1 project which used an MSP430.  We upgraded to an MSP432 to use freeRTOS instead of the in-house pseudo-OS that our team created a few years ago.

    I'm not sure all that was involved in getting the project created.  Although I just found out that they said I need the MSP432P4 SDK installed which I don't have, which is probably part of my problem.
