What was your solution? For me BoardTestSystem.exe also hangs at "Setup connection to System Console server..."

For me I found that if I launch Quartus 20.3 first, then launch BoardTestSystem.exe it can run, but if I launch Quartus 22.3 (latest) first it can not run.

    Hello KeeganJ:

    I found in my case the cause is that some MSVCRXX.dll files are missing. Once the needed .dll file is installed (I don't know which one because I installed a bunch of them before testing) I was able to run BoardTestSystem.exe.

    From my limited experience, my suggestion to your situation is to check your system environment variable setup. Since you have two version of Quartus installed, it may be setup only for one version.

    Hope this helps.
