    I'm not sure what you mean. There are no physical USB-Blasters supplied with Quartus but the drivers should be there (look for a drivers directory as part of your Quartus install).

    no ,i can't find it in my altera\quartus50\driver\usb blaster directory. I think there must be some thing wrong with my software. So i want to install it separately.

    THX all the same!

    if some kind friend have the install file ,looking forward to sending to my email box.thank you!

    Here is a link to USB Blaster installation information.

    http://www.altera.com/literature/lit-devkits.jsp (http://www.altera.com/literature/lit-devkits.jsp)

    There is no installation file other than the driver that is installed in the QuartusII directory,

    Example Directory,

    C:\altera\quartus50\drivers\usb-blaster

    If you are using Windows, windows should detect the presents of a new USB device, if it does then you

    must follow the instructions that are in the above link to the user guide for installation. If windows does

    not detect a new device, then you may have something wrong with you USB port or Windows drivers to your

    USB port.

    Good Luck,
