Why is uVision complaining about not finding an axf file when trying to flash a hex file?

Error: Flash Download failed - Could not load file 'C:\Projects\MyBoard\MyFirmware.axf'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Error: Flash Download failed - Could not load file 'C:\Projects\MyBoard\MyFirmware.axf'

I don't have a MyFirmware.axf file, I have a MyFirmware.hex file that is what I need to flash. I put that .hex file in the "Objects" folder and configured uVision to point to that folder to grab the .hex file.

Does anyone know how to work with only hex files? Because the documentation solution doesn't work.

Note: I'm not compiling the code in uVision, I just need to use it to flash an already existing .hex file.
