Quartus programmer software for 32-bit PC

13.0sp1 readme.txt release note indicates Win7 32b is a supported install target for the Lite/Free tool. I know this because I have it installed on my system.

On Altera's info page: https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/download/os-support.html

From the table footnotes. I highlighted a couple of items.

• starting with acds v14.0, intel fpga software only supports 64 bit versions of the os listed in table 1, unless specified.

• The 32 bit library files are required to run the software on Linux* 64 bit platforms.

• Windows 8.0 only.

• Both 32 bit and 64 bit are supported.

• Only KDE desktop manager is supported.

• 32-bit standalone programmer is only supported in standard edition.

So if you use a PAID version of the tools it appears a 32b version of the standalone programmer tool is supported.

Otherwise it appears you must use 13.0sp1 or earlier to get a free 32b programmer tool.
