What would be the name of the log file?
Whenever the gamepad tool tries to program something it is supposed to generate a log file with the date. The name should be Programmer_Log_<date string>.txt

Where did you find the log that you posted? The gamepad tool was build in LabVIEW, so the error that you posted was generated by LabVIEW and not the tool itself.

You can try to manually program the device from the command line by doing the following:
  1. Open Windows Command Prompt
  2. Change directory to (on 64-bit): "C:\Program Files (x86)\FRC Gamepad Tool\Tools\mspdebug"
  3. type: mspdebug.exe --allow-fw-update tilib "prog ../../Firmware/MSP430-GamePad-OptionX.hex" where X is 1 2 or 3 depending on the option you want

This should at least get you rolling with the LaunchPad, though I would like to understand what is going wrong.

Could you also post any extra details about the system you are using to program this (are you running from a VM, 32-bit or 64-bit etc.). Thanks
