question about vip in the SOPC Builder?

After I installed the Quartus II 7.2 sp3+MegaCore IP Library,some of Ips such as the DDR are found in the sopc builder,but the VIP(the Video and Image Processing suite) related ips is disappear!What is wrong with the installation?

And the content of the wizard.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<package name="alpha_blending_mixer" version="7.2" sopc_builder="false" dsp_builder="true">

<iptb core_dir="%wip_toolbench" flow_dir="%w../../common/ip_toolbench/v1.3.0/bin" lib_dir="%w" launch_params="-parameterization.megawizard2:1 -hide_splash -parameterization.activate_atstartup:1 -hide_iptb -parameterization.window_location:center -limitfiles" />

</package>

sopc_builder="false"??????? what's wrong with this?

thank you!

    Is it a web edition or a subscription edition? Why do you say "disappear"? Does it mean that VIP appeared in a previous version?

    Hello

    Do you know if the folders with the components exist in quartus directory?

    "C:\altera\80\ip"

    There is an option to include new directories to search for components on the SOPC Options.

    The megawizard shows the components correctly?

    SOPC Builder searches the following locations for components:

    Components included with the standard Quartus II software installation.

    Components referenced by the <drive>:\Document and Settings\<user_account>\.altera.quartus\altera_ip.ini file. You can modify the contents of this file with IP Search Path in the Category list of the Options dialog box. Altera recommends that you use the altera_ip.ini file for component libraries.

    Components found during a recursive search in the <quartus project>\ip directory. Altera recommends that you use this directory for project-specific IP.

    Paths referenced through the ALTERA_IP_SEARCH_PATH environment variable.

    To ensure compatibility with previous versions of the Quartus II software, SOPC Builder also searches the following locations for components:

    SOPC_BUILDER path variable

    Regards,
