Hi Prashant,

Since I’m unable to reproduce this issue, it’s hard to pinpoint the cause. I’ve checked the environment variable on my system and it mostly matches with yours, perhaps you could try updating the SOPC_KIT_NIOS2 under user variable to reference your current installation?

Hi Divya,

Thank you for your response.

I have updated the SOPC_KIT_NIOS2 path as suggested, but unfortunately, the issue persists—I am still encountering the application error.

My Windows system operates under administrative restrictions. Could there be any background services or registry settings that require additional permissions to run the application properly?

I have also attempted to run the application using "Run as Administrator," but the error remains the same.

    Hi Prashant,

    Is WSL installed on this Windows machine? If so, please try running the same process in WSL and let me know if that avoids the error you’re seeing on Windows.
