Can't get C5G Control Panel v 1.0.2 to connect to Cyclone V GX Starter Kit board

As it turns out, there were a couple of problems that needed to be fixed on my installation. There are several scripts that look for files to be located in hard-coded directories. This means you need to accept installation defaults if you want the scripts to work or, you have to alter the scripts to match your personal installation directories. In addition, as I was going through the Terasic documentation I noticed that the Terasic demonstrations and utility software were all developed for Quartus II version 13.1. I would suggest using this version if you want the example code to work properly. If you are running Windows, you should also make sure that your system-level environmental variables are setup to point to the proper installation directories after installing Quartus II. I had a problem with this because I had done multiple installations and the variables were setup wrong for the last version of Quartus II that I installed.
