Are you using exactly the same version of Quartus that the kit ships with?

In my experience, the Java GUIs provided are not portable between versions of Quartus.

If you have multiple versions of Quartus installed, start the NIOS IDE shell for that version, and first run jtagconfig -n to list the JTAG devices on the board (this may need to be run twice, since another version of the server may be running). Then run the GUI executable from that command line. That will ensure the paths are correct.
