I went to get the Original Default Code from the sample files and then tried to set the .out file in the FRC downloader preference tab. but the template did not come with that file. I tried the same thing with the Simple template example and the file was there and there were no problems. I was hoping that someone else out there has that ppc603gnu file and could link it for me. If anyone could that would really help out. Thanks 
Assuming you’re talking about the executable that is in the PPC603gnu folder, you need to build the project which will compile the example’s source code into an executable. Right click on the project in your Project Explorer and hit Build.
You should read through these docs, http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/docman/do/listDocuments/projects.wpilib/docman.root.c_and_java_documentation
The .out file the downloader is looking for is the compiled program that your code generates. You need to build your project (Project->Build Project) before it will exist. Once you build, you can point the downloader to the generated .out file, which is located at “C:\WindRiver\workspace<Project Name>\PPC603gnu<Template Name>\Debug<Template Name>.out”, filling in where appropriate. If you haven’t renamed your project, <Project Name> will be the same as <Template Name>.
I tried to build it, but I got the following line in my error log.
Folder “/OriginalDefaultCode” used in build target “OriginalDefaultCode” not found.
I havnt played with the program at all yet. I just tried to build it.
I remember Klamath Falls
Are you logged on to that computer as the administrator?
I can’t think of any other reason why the proper directories where not created.
Maybe run the programs as administrator and make sure your anti virus isn’t trying to “help you”.
We got the same error. I believe we fixed it by loading a different example - the one with a title including “current.” However, it’s hard to say for sure since we had somebody very… pushy trying to move things along and not figure out what went wrong.
You could also just try rebooting windriver; that always helps!
Okay thank you for your help. I will definitely give that a try. This is only my second year of being a programmer and last year no one else knew anything about programming at all. so I have been learning on the fly. I love chief delphi and everyone willing to help out a new person to FIRST like me!
We had the same problem. The defaultRobot file that we were told to open in the “Setting up your 2012 control system” document does not have the proper .out file. I don’t have the laptop with me at the moment so i don’t know for sure the name of the fle, but we had to go with a different example and then it worked fine.
I recently had this problem after renaming a project and I had to go into the MakeFile and search and replace the old directories with the new one.
