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?

I am not using NIOS II IDE shell. quartus_sh --64bit command is not work also.

That comment is not consistent with your original question - you asked about using the command-line. The NIOS II IDE shell *is* the command-line - its the Cygwin terminal.

If you only ever want to use the 64-bit applications, add the bin64 directory to your path. You can probably create or edit a .bashrc file for the Altera Cygwin terminal to use, and inside that set your path.

The --64bit option won't work until you try it on the 64-bit version of the application, i.e., the version in the bin64 folder.

Cheers,

Dave
