Stuck while building the VIP Example Design

We are trying to get the vip_example_design_3c120_v81_revc up and running on an Cyclone III EP3C120F780 Dev Kit. It is an427.pdf.

I am getting stuck in the Analysis & Elaboration with the following errors...

I am new to FPGA development, so am currently somewhat overwhelmed with the many IDE options. We have added the VIP libraries to the project, something the document forgets to mention, but there is a good chance I could be missing some other critical library path.

    HI

    Now I tried on my old P4 xp PC and it worked in first go :-) (2h45m)

    On my Vista PC I do log in as administrator and I do run Quartus81 as administrator.... and it fails

    I was wondering if the Quartus instaliation should has been executed as administator when it was installed?

    I would realy like to have it to work on my Vista PC since it's a quad core

    My installation was installed as Administrator to give all users access. It also requires building as Administrator.

    So, our theory now is that if I had installed it as... say... "User" then it would successfully build as "User" but maybe not as "User2"?

    Hmmmm

    I'm the only user... and this user are administator... a bit wierd

    But in Vista it might still make a change when installing to right click and say run as administrator...even I'm allready administrator... I'm tired of Vista a lot of waisted time

    You did mention a folder being hidden, perhaps I can change the permision for this folder?
