Motor Control Workbench failing to generate valid project

Sorry if this has already been asked but I can't find a solution.

I'm trying to get MotorControl Workbench to generate a project I can open in STcubeIDE.

I'm using the only B-G431B-ESC1 board example project.

Everything is the latest I can download from ST, except I have also tried the "Recommended"1.1.0 Firmware package, as well as the current 1.2.0 package with no difference.

When generating the project, everything looks fine and I get the attached screen capture info about versions.

However the .project file only has a reference to a single file in it, entire contents below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
	<name>ElectronicSpeedControl</name>
	<comment></comment>

If I then open the .ioc file in CubeMX all looks fine but it wont generate a new project file which I find very odd.

The rest of the code looks ok at a glance (all the usual libraries are copied and source files generated.

All very odd, any idea?
