14 years agoHi Simon,
--- Quote Start --- Presumably 10.1 won't install anything into a folder with an 11.0 in it, so as long as I never upgrade, I'll be fine :rolleyes: --- Quote End --- I have several versions of the tools installed under Windows XP and there are no conflicts. I have not tried uninstalling from Windows 7, so can't comment on your issues, or offer suggestions, sorry. --- Quote Start --- I don't know tcl, that's one of the languages I've managed to not use over the last couple of decades, but I'll add it to the list of things to learn... --- Quote End --- Its not the newest and fanciest of scripting languages, but it works. If you are serious about using FPGA tools, then you have to learn it. Altera, Mentor (Modelsim), Xilinx (ISE), Lattice (Diamond), Synopsys (.sdc files), etc., all use Tcl. Buy the book by Brent Welch, and that'll give you the Tcl basics, then from within the tools, generate Tcl files for projects, and learn to dissect them. After a couple of iterations, you'll get the hang of it, and when you get stuck, just ask questions. Cheers, Dave
