Should ble_app_blinky_pca10059_s149 work out of the box?

I received my NRF52840 dongles and downloaded SDK 16.0.0 and SES 4.52c.  I found some old documentation that said how to convert ble_app_blinky to the dongle but then exploring the SDK it looks like there's a project already configured for the dongle:

    examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky\pca10059\s140\ses

so I built it and got a HEX file.  But that hex file doesn't work.  When I load it up in nRF Connect's programmer I think I can see why.

The file I generated:

    65,847 ble_app_blinky_pca10059_s140.hex

but there is a pre-built binary located in examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky\hex\ble_app_blinky_pca10059_s140.hex

    504,895 ble_app_blinky_pca10059_s140.hex

I went into the programming utility and I added an MBR file

    mbr_nrf52_2.4.1_mbr.hex

then I went to add a soft device from components\softdevice\s140\hex:

    438,258 s140_nrf52_7.0.1_softdevice.hex

That soft device file plus the mbr file plus my example .hex file adds up to about the right size, so that seemed right ... but when I add all three to the programming utility, it warns me of overlapping regions.  And, obviously, it doesn't work.  When I download that pre-built image it works great.

I don't mind doing these steps manually for now... but what am I doing wrong?

That summary is right.  Based on you asking if I modified any of the rest of the SDK, I removed the entire SDK, and re-unzipped it.  Now it works.  So I guess the answer is "I must have" though I don't know what I could have touched.
