Cannot install DSP builder 13.1.0 to Quartus 13.1.3

Hello people,

I recently install the update for Quartus 13.1 which replaces build 13.1.0 with 13.1.3.

Now I try to install DSP Builder but I cannot do it because DSP builder has build 13.1.0 and I get an installation error. Do I need to revert the Quartus installation back to 13.1.0 or is there any update or workaround for DSP Builder?

Thanks!

    What is the specific error you see, which executable did you run, and what platform are you targeting?

    I ran QuartusSetup-13.1.3.178.exe to install over 13.1 (build 162) on Windows7 and this updated Quartus & DSP Builder Advanced to build 178. There were no changes to DSP Builder Standard so this remains unchanged from the 13.1 install as build 162.

    I do not remember exactly the error message but it had to do with the fact that I already updated Quartus to 13.1.2 before trying to install the DSP Builder.

    The error message was that the DSP Builder installer build 13.1.0 cannot install DSP Builder over Quartus 13.1.2.

    I change the version.txt file inside quartus folder to show that the version of Quartus is the old version and then i run the DSP Builder installer again and it did it.

    I reverted the version.txt to the original after that. I hope that this change doesnt act as a timebomb later.

    What I could do now would be to run the quartus update installer again in case it also updates the DSP builder installation.
