byteblaster not showing up in hardware

Hi,

I also had problems with the Downloadcables.

I solved the problem by installing the jtagserver manually.

In the quartus bin directory there is located a executable named "jtagserver.exe".

You can try calling this executable with "jtagserver --status". There should be displayed Server is running.

If the jtagserver isn't running, you need administrator rights to install the jtagserver.

For this you have to log in as administrator and type "jtagserver --install". Make sure, that the executable isn't called from a network or substituded drive. Only local harddisks are allowed because when the jtagserver starts no mounts are connected at this time.

I hope this solves the problem.
