Nios II - Eclipse 9.1 quits when I try to make a new Hardware Run Configuration?

Hi, I imported my first project in the Nios II 9.1 Eclipse Platform. It compiles inside the Eclipse GUI, but when I go to create a Hardware configuration the program simply quits without any error...

I haven't seen that one yet. I did have one problem with the Run Configurations when importing a project from the 8.1 build tools to 9.1. For some reason, the 8.1 tools had not appended the ".elf" extension to the ".elf" file and the Run Configuration depends on this ".elf" file extension. I modified the project properties to specify the ".elf" extension for the file. Not sure if it's related or not.

The only thing I could think to try is to run the IDE in debug mode. Launch the IDE from the console and give it the -debug and -consolelog arguments. See this page for more info:

The hope of course is that it gives you something useful when it crashes.
