Newbie question - Programming issues

I've been playing with the SOPC builder and NIOS II IDE for a week or two now on a Stratix II 2S60 development board. I've gotten the example files to run great and am trying to mimic what our system board will look like in Quartus II. As such I've loaded the standard example in Quartus II, and in SOPC builder I removed nearly all componants except for SDRAM and EXT_FLASH (renamed CFI_FLASH_0).

Everything compiles fine but into a time_limited version. When I attempt to program my Nios II code in the IDE, I receive the following error:

SOF Data item missing input file

The command that creates this error is:

$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin/sof2flash --offset=0x800000 --input=C:/Temp/ESM_Simulated_SOPC_System/standard_time_limited.sof --output=standard_time_limited.flash

Now I realize there are issues with using the time limited versions (I am workign on the licensing issues in parallel), but these problems aren't related, are they? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Is there any other information I could provide that would possibly help?

Regards,

Kevin
