Failed to launch NIOSV Command Shell. Getting (0xc0000142) application error.
Hello,
I'm having trouble with the Nios V Command Shell; specifically, I cannot start the shell (niosv-shell.exe) or the RiscFree IDE. Sometimes the program starts, and sometimes it does not.
Operating system: Windows 10 19045.5737 version 22H2.
Tool: Quartus Prime Pro 23.4
I'm getting an application error 0xc0000142: I've already reinstalled the Quartus tool a few times.
Also followed the steps from the link below.
https://thegeekpage.com/how-to-solve-application-error-0xc0000142-in-windows-10/
still getting the same issue.

For 25.1Pro,
Please ignore the umppc*.dll.
- It is uniquely found in Intel laptop.
- It is expected that your laptop don't have umppc*.dll.
- Quartus doesn't rely on it to run.
With that, there is no missing dll to run 25.1Pro in your system. Your system's DLL matched our system's DLL.
Thus, I am sorry that we have no other suggestion to provide, beside the workaround below or perform a Windows 11 Update/Reinstall.
For 23.4Pro,
Besides ignoring umppc*.dll, the ccl_zlib.dll is installed thru the Quartus installer.
Reinstalling the Quartus is only option to resolve the missing ccl_zlib.dll.
If the above solution is not helpful, here is a possible workaround.
quartus_py can be substituted with python downloaded from official python.org website.
- The equivalent version is 3.10.14 but any 3.10.* will work too.
Sample for running niosv-shell :
python3 <quartus installed dir>\niosv\bin\niosv-shell-files\main.pyRegards,

Hi @prashant_gohel ,
Attached the Quartus Prime Pro 23.4 's required_files_win11_md5.txt in the ZIP package.
About the missing umppc19811.dll,
- It might be possible that it have a different version number. Try the command below & see if it has a different version:
dir C:\Windows\system32\umppc*- If the umppc*.dll is truly missing, try the DISM command (Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool). You might need to run Command Prompt with Run As Administrator.
To check the system health:
dism /online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
If a problem is detected, perform the auto-fix.dism /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealthLastly, can you share your Windows 11 system info?
Run "systeminfo", report back the OS Name & OS Version.For example, our system here is:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise
OS Version: 10.0.22631 N/A Build 22631

Thanks for the compare_25.1.txt.
I shared the txt file to my colleagues for their analysis.
It seems that a file is missing in your system - WINDOWS\System32\umppc19811.dll , FILE NOT FOUND
Let's wait for their advice on the missing file.
I will keep you updated on any progress soon.
Also relayed your request to them on the Quartus Prime Pro 23.4 's required_files_win11_md5.txt too.

The script for Windows 11 is ready, and attached in this article.
1. Update the required_files_win11.txt based on your system's Windows installation directory and Quartus installation directory paths.
2. Run generate_md5.bat (as shown below)
> generate_md5.bat required_files_win11.txt my_md5.txt
3. This will produce my_md5.txt
4. Run file compare
> fc required_files_win11_md5.txt my_md5.txt
5. This will report the lines that are different between the two files.
6. Please share your results with us.
Alternatively, you can also use Listdlls.exe (link).
1. Enter Nios V Shell
2. Run Listdlls.exe
> Listdlls.exe quartus_py > my_raw.txt
3. Run file compare
> fc required_files_win11_raw.txt my_raw.txt

Hi Liang Yu,
Thank you for sharing the script files.
I have executed the script as suggested and copied the command prompt log(compare_25.1.txt) to share with you. The script was run on a Windows 11 PC with Quartus version 25.1.
Could you please share the required_files_win11_md5.txt file for Quartus Prime Pro 23.4 as well?
Thanks and regards,
Prashant Gohel
