Honored ContributorHelp With Altera 10.1 Devices Command Line Install
I am trying to install the Altera 10.1 Devices portion of the program via command line and I keep getting an error about the xml file. When I look at the actual devices.xml file, it is empty. This is what I get as an error... Error: File path to windows installer command not found in XML for product devices. Here is the command line I am using to install: C:\CIT\Temp\10.1_devices_windows\altera_installer\bin\altera_installer_cmd.exe --target="c:\altera" --source="c:\cit\temp\10.1_devices_windows" --install devices
Thanks for any help you can suggest. -Nate1 Reply
Altera_ForumI was also receiving the same error and Altera Support told me that you can't install the devices in version 10.1 from the command line, but after playing with it for awhile I got it working using a batch file with the following commands:
