Hi Zeel,

Before you begin the installation, verify that the USB-Blaster II driver is located in your directory: \<Quartus Prime system directory>\drivers\usb-blaster-ii.

1. Connect the download cable to your computer’s USB port. When plugged in for the first time, a message appears stating Device driver software was not successfully installed.

2. From the Windows Device Manager, locate Other devices and right-click the top USB-BlasterII

3. On the right-click menu, click Update Driver Software. The Update Driver Software - USB BlasterII dialog appears.

4. Click Browse my computer for driver software to continue.

5. Click Browse… and browse to the location of the driver on your system: \<Quartus Prime system directory>\drivers\usb-blaster-ii. Click OK.

6. Click Next to install the driver.

7. Click Install when asked if you want to install.

Best regards,

KhaiQ
