Launchpad MSP430 Device Initialization Error

Hello,

Our team is trying to use a Texas Instruments MSP430 LaunchPad to be recognized as a joystick by the Driver Station.

After successfully installing the FRC Update Suite and LabView Run-Time Engine, we launched the GamePad Tool for FRC as instructed and upon clicking "Program Device", we are returned an error: "LaunchPad error 5000 Gamepad tool.vi<ERR>".

I've run all three options and clicked "Program Device", yet I am still returned with the same error.
Has anyone ever run into this and solved it?

Attempting to program manually (cmd commands) had yielded us these errors
tilib: MSP430_OpenDevice: Unknown Device (error = 5) tilib: device initalization failed

Attempting to run the command mspdebug tilib --allow-fw-update gives us the same error.

Thank you
