execute different quartus version in command prompt

Hi, I have install quartus version 12.1sp1 in windows. When I taip quartus_sh <> in command prompt, it will execute v12.1 32-bits. Can i run it in 64-bits without go to the bin64 directory?

Not as far as I can tell.

If I want the 64-bit version to run I use a NIOS II IDE shell and type 


$ export PATH=`cygpath -u $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/bin64`:$PATH
$ quartus

which puts the 64-bit executable in the path first (the cygpath call is needed to get the path format correct).

Cheers,

Dave
