I wouldn't bother with CCP, especially if you are repairing old content.
CCP can write a very basic config file for you, with the basic details such as author, website, mesh-table, basic smoke containers and the like.
It's better to write a config yourself using Edit in Explorer and Notepad, especially if you do complicated stuff like Extensions in the mesh-table and advanced settings in smoke containers, as well as the kuid-table.
