The error message "QUARTUS_ROOTDIR\dsp_builder\bin does not contain BlockInfo.dll" is produced when DSPB detects something went wrong and tries to diagnose what might be wrong with the installation. It does the following check:

blockinfoFile = fullfile(getenv('QUARTUS_ROOTDIR'), 'dsp_builder', 'bin', 'BlockInfo.dll');

file_status = exist(blockinfoFile, 'file');

if file_status ~= 3

... error

end

So I'm a little confused about why it would say it couldn't find the file unless it didn't exist. Is there anything interesting about your machine/setup, I should know? Is it Windows XP or Vista? 32 bit or 64 bit? If 64 bit, is matlab 32-bit (64-bit matlab is not supported)?

Do you have other versions of Quartus installed? Are these other versions on the system path?
