vsim-3827 error running load_sim.tcl for Cyclone V Soc design

I am attempting to simulate a Cyclone V SoC design using ModelSim.

I am running script load_sim.tcl within ModelSim. This script was generated by Qsys from a Cyclone SoC design containing an HPS.

All the many libraries and verilog files are compiling without error.

The process crashes after the end of compilation during elaboration, when vsim is attempting to load the simulation.

This is the error I receive:

# ** Fatal: ** Error: (vsim-3827) Could not compile 'export_tramp.dll': cmd = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\link.exe

I appreciate any help.
