Hi @Konrad,

Thank you for posting in Intel community forum and hope all is well.
Assuming you are having a windows environment, with visual studio already installed as mention.

Suspecting there might be some environment initialization problem, please do review the steps here.
Also can you please run the init_hls.bat and provide a screenshot of the output so that we can better understand the error.

Best Wishes
BB

      ooops...administrator rights.

      I am trying to learn this at home. At work I have a 4 year old project I did in Altium that needs updating. This is mostly VHDL with some Altera IP FIR filters, but uses the Altium c to hardware compiler to do floating point math. The math is just float multiply/divides for a fast ARC2TAN. This worked great with Altium, but they no longer support FPGA development.

      regards
