Hi @Anand​ ,

I have tried this method but unfortunately it did not work. I still got the same error. I have searched in forums and internet but could not find anything.

HI,

The Error: Modelsim (vsim) is not on the path is related to environment variable. Which is used to check that we have Modelsim in our path.

I have below setting which is working fine.

PATH=C:\intelFPGA\18.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem

VisualStudio=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin

QUARTUS_ROOTDIR=C:\intelFPGA\18.1\quartus

Kindly retry by restarting the system also check if you have vsim.exe under C:\intelFPGA\18.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem

Regards

Anand

    Hi @Anand​ ,

    I have exactly same sttings with you except my quartus prime paths are under "D:", does it change anything?

    There also exists vsim.exe under win32aloem.

    ​Hi @SOZDO​ ,

    Just checked init_hls.bat file but I find any clue. Also bat file is working from current directory and it set current directory as ROOTDIR.

    I will work on it and update you soon.

    Regards
