...Nios II Command Shell.bat} make all 2>> stderr.txt": child process exited abnormally - Fixed!

When compiling DDR3 SDRAM Controller with UniPHY Intel® FPGA IP core with Platform Designer on Windows 10 with Quartus Lite 20.1. 1.720 I get the error:

Error: border: Error during execution of script generate_hps_sdram.tcl: seq: Error during execution of "{C:/intelfpga/20.1/quartus/../nios2eds/Nios II Command Shell.bat} make all 2>> stderr.txt": child process exited abnormally

My WIndows 11 machine does not produce this error.

I have tried all the solutions for reinstalling WSL and Ubuntu-18.04 and setting WSL to version 1 by following all the related threads but the issue is the same.

I even tried Quart Lite 23.1.1.993 but on Windows 10 its the same error.


This used to work with Windows10 so I think a Windows 10 upgrade has caused this.
Windows 10 Enterprise
Version 22H2
OS build 19045.6159

-Finally fixed this by moving my project folder off the C: drive and into the Users directory.
It must be a permissions thing.

    Thanks for your update, this is a valuable information. Do you mind to check what is the permission folder for C drive vs the folder that you were using? With this, I can update the KDB as well.

    Btw, sorry for the late response.
