MCF8316A: Motor Studio JavaScript Error

I recently downloaded TI Motor Studio to continue development of a MCF8316A-based project, I have an MCF8316AEVM which I am using to familiarize myself with the device. Upon launching Motor Studio the app never recognizes the EVM board until I re-plug the 
USB cable. With the cable re-plugged I select the MCF8316A and then select Proceed upon which I get the following error:

I select OK to clear the error screen, check 'Hardware setup has been done manually', click Setup Completed, then select Quick Spin. The app does not produce anything further, but just hangs trying to build the page.

Any assistance is appreciated.
