Installation problem

Anyone else having problems installing eCos 2.0? The installer insists that I do not have Nios2 1.01 installed. I installed the original 1.0 from CD and the 1.01 from SP1 (downloaded from Altera).

Any ideas?

    The installer looks in the install directory inside a file version.ptf for the version of your kit. I suspect your problem is that you're not installing to the directory where your kit is installed

    Ok, I should have included my ptf (from c:\altera\kits\nios2) information in my first post:

    number = "1.01";

    major = "1";

    minor = "0";

    level = "1";

    build = "393b";

    type = "patch";

    host = "sc-build";

    user = "sc-regtest";

    date = "2004.09.07";

    time = "17.13.10";

    The eCos installer wants to install to .\components\ecos. I modified this to c:\altera\kits\nios2\components\ecos (and c:\altera\kits\nios2) and the installer gives me "Error You have either not got the NiosII 1.01 kit installed or the environment variable SOPC_KIT_NIOS2 points to a different version of the Nios II kit. Please install version 1.01 to continue"

    My environment variable is set to:

    SOPC_KIT_NIOS2=c:\altera\kits\nios2

    I will keep poking around.

    Ok, I am awake now (after noticing missing words in my previous post). Not quite sure what happened but I uninstalled everything including Quartus. During the reinstall, everything installed without problems.

    Thanks all!
