Hi @prashant_gohel

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.py
