Bug: Vanishing source files in CCS 3.1

Description: Code Composer Studio (v3.x) is not showing any source files (*.c) in the project tree. When choosing the "Add files to project..." option, the only available file types in the selection window are *.txt and *.pdf ...

Workaround: (Official Answer:) Reinstall CCS. 

It sounds like your version of CCS has become slightly corrupted. I've seen this issue before, and a reinstall of the software should fix this. Follow these steps to ensure that you have uninstalled completely.

1. Go through the Add/Remove programs step in Control panel to remove CCS

2. Using Windows Explorer delete all of the files in the C:\ti directory

3. Using Windows Explorer delete all of the files in the C:\windows\ti directory

4. Using Start --> Run --> Notepad, open c:\autoexec.bat into notepad and delete all references to code composer directories

5. Then go into ‘regedit’ (Windows Registry). From regedit, browse to the following in the registry and delete the Go DSP, TI and Texas Instruments keys (if they continue to exist):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Go DSP 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Texas Instruments

HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Texas Instruments' RTDX Log File Dumper

HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> TI

6. In the registry, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software. From here, search and delete the GO DSP and TI and Texas Instruments keys (if they exist)

7. After following these steps, reboot your machine

8. Re-install CCS

Once this has been re-installed, your problems will hopefully have gone.
