Basic Problems With DE1

You are apparently installing an old Quartus version. It's assuming the old Web Edition license scheme. The old version should work for Cyclone II and DE-1. Alternatively you can download recent Quartus V11.1.

Another problem, I opened the Tutorials for the DE1 on the enclosed CD to learn about Quartus use with schematic capture, but, the Tutorial was written around the DE2 board and the references to the "light" project do not work since the board pinouts/schematic/Cyclone part are different between DE1 and DE2.

I see, that the tutorials on the DE-1 CD are referring to DE-2. Apparently DE-1 tutorials don't exist. The differences between both boards aren't huge and all demonstration projects on the CD are for DE-1. If you miss the original DE-1 CD, it can be downloaded rom Terasic:
